Python Engineering Intern

Regional offices in Corpus Christi and five other cities support agents and policyholders. Most of the office has been here more than ten years.

The program:

Corpus Christi Insurance Agency is hiring a Python Engineering Intern for Jan 2027. We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. You can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement. Normal business hours, Monday to Friday, with some flexibility. Communication happens mostly in Slack and short video calls.

What you'll do:

• 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
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them

What we're looking for:

• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++

Nice to have:

• Contributions to an open source project, however small

What you'll learn:

• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers

Program dates: Jan 2027, 12 weeks.

Pay: $39.00-$54.00 per hour

Benefits for interns:

• Mentorship from a dedicated buddy and manager
• Learning and development stipend
• Paid company holidays
• Final presentation to leadership
