Python Developer Intern

Who we are:

Two developers, a designer and a support lead make up most of the company, so everyone touches the product.

The internship:

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. Our team is spread across 8 countries. Headquarters is in Joliet. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in Joliet, and the stipend is paid monthly in Indian rupees. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Central time. Good written English matters here, since most updates are written.

Responsibilities:

• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.

Requirements:

• Students currently pursuing B.Tech, BE, BCA, MCA, B.Sc or a related degree, or fresh graduates (2026, 2027 or 2028 batch)
• Can commit full time, from home, for the whole internship.
• Women starting or restarting their careers are encouraged to apply.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.
