Python Developer Intern

Our engineering, trust and safety, and customer support teams work across offices in New York City and several other countries. We ship small changes daily rather than big quarterly releases.

About the internship:

Amberspring Labs is hiring a Python Developer Intern for Immediately. Our Integrations team is five engineers working fully remote across two time zones. The intern picks up small backend tickets first and moves to bigger features once comfortable. We are headquartered in New York City and have been hiring remotely since 2020. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our New York City team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Core hours are 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM US Eastern. A stable internet connection and a backup power option are required.

Responsibilities:

• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.

Basic qualifications:

• Have a working laptop and a stable internet connection, ideally with a UPS backup.
• Final-year students or fresh graduates of BSCS, BSSE, BBA or a related program.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.
• Pursuing a B.Tech, B.E., BCA, MCA, BS Computer Science or a related degree, graduating in 2026 or 2027.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.

Nice to have:

• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef.
• 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.
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.

Program dates: Immediately, 1 month.

Pay: PKR 120,000 - PKR 140,000 per month

Perks:

• Job offer on successful completion.
• Flexible work hours.
• Informal dress code.

Duration: 1 month. Start: Immediately.
