Python Developer Intern

Who we are

Hedgerow Technologies builds scheduling and dispatch software for field service companies, from two-truck plumbing outfits to regional HVAC contractors.

About the role

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. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in Nepal. You can set your own hours around a daily morning check-in. Communication happens mostly in Slack and short video calls.

Day to day

• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• 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.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.

What we're looking for

• Based in Nepal.
• Students or recent graduates of BIT, BCA, BBA, BBS or a related program.
• Available for the full internship period, work from home.
• Own laptop and a reliable internet connection.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)

Nice to have

• Contributions to an open source project, however small.
• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef.

What you'll learn

• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.
• 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.
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next.

Stipend: NPR 23,000-NPR 28,000 per month
