Python Developer Intern

Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day. Our engineering group is split into roughly 60 product teams, each owning its services end to end, with on-call shared across time zones. We started in 1995 and have grown to about 2,700 people.
