Python Engineering 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. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

About the role

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Remote position. Most of the team is in Frisco, but nobody is required to come in. Weekday working hours, with room to shift your day when needed. Equipment is provided, including a laptop.

Day to day

Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger. Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems. Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer. Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack. Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day. 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.

What we're looking for

Available 40 hours a week for the full internship. Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2026 or 2027. Based in the US for the duration of the internship. Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period. Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection. 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++. Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.

What you get out of it

Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next. You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
