Node.js Developer Intern

No call centre and no offshore help desk. When clients call, one of us picks up. Dentists, insurance agents and law offices make up most of the client list. Lunch is usually whatever is closest to the client site.

Overview

The intern will work on internal tools and APIs used by our support and operations staff. Daily standup on Google Meet, everything else async on Slack. Remote internship with a team based in Omaha. The stipend is paid at the end of each month. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Central time.

Day to day

Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations. Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems. Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works. Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack. Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.

Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours. Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
