Python Developer Intern

We run one of the larger SaaS platforms for commercial insurance carriers, processing millions of policy transactions a year. Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day. Laptops are MacBook Pros, and you pick your own editor.

About the role:

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. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in Leeds, and the stipend is paid monthly in USD. Working hours overlap with UK business hours. You get a company laptop and a headset before you start.

What you'll do:

• 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.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.

Who can apply:

• Women returning to work after a career break are welcome to apply.
• Students currently pursuing B.Tech, BE, BCA, MCA, B.Sc or a related degree, or fresh graduates (2026, 2027 or 2028 batch)
• Can start right away or within the next two weeks.
• Available for a full-time (work from home) internship for the full duration.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.

Preferred:

• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef.
• Contributions to an open source project, however small.
• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP.

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.
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
