MERN Stack Developer Intern

About us

Across New York, the company runs 14 branch offices and a central depot for hardware staging and imaging. Large rollouts are routine here, such as imaging 12,000 laptops for a state agency over one summer. Lunch is usually whatever is closest to the client site.

About the role

Our Web Platform team runs the company website, admin panel and a few internal tools. The intern will help on all three. Our headquarters is in New York City, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our New York City team on daily calls and get a named mentor. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Eastern time. Reliable internet and a power backup are a must.
