Python Engineering Intern

About Calder Wealth Management:

Most clients live within an hour's drive and come in for reviews twice a year. Planning is done in RightCapital and portfolios are managed in Orion. Still family owned, 35 years on.

About the role:

Our Core Services 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 role is fully remote within the US. Monday to Friday, regular working hours, flexible start and finish.

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
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack

Who can apply:

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2027 or 2028
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM 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
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++

Bonus points:

• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP
• Knowledge of Linux command line basics

• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers
