MET Tech Support is hiring a Node.js Developer Intern for Immediately. This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. You will intern remotely with our team in Chicago. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Core hours overlap with US Central time, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CT. We talk mostly in Slack and hop on quick calls when something needs discussing.

Responsibilities:

• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.

Who you are:

• Available for at least 30 hours a week from home.
• Own laptop and a reliable internet connection.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.

Preferred qualifications:

• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP.

What you'll learn:

• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next.
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it.

Program dates: Immediately, 3 months.

Compensation: $300 - $350 monthly

Benefits for interns:

• Free access to paid learning courses.
• Pre-placement offer (PPO) for strong performers.
• Letter of recommendation.
• Informal dress code.
