Python Developer Intern

Our engineering, trust and safety, and customer support teams work across offices in Phoenix and several other countries. Since 1986, the company has expanded from listings into payments, shipping and seller financing.

Overview

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.

We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Core hours overlap with US Central time, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CT. You will need a stable internet connection and a backup power source (UPS or inverter).
