Python Engineering Intern

Our product started as a side project in 1989 and now has a few hundred paying customers, mostly in Missouri. Two developers, a designer and a support lead make up most of the company, so everyone touches the product.

Overview:

Our Platform 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. Remote within the US. The team meets in Kansas City once a quarter, travel covered. We ship you a laptop and accessories before your first day.

What you'll do:

• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.

Who can apply:

• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship.
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply.
• 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.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.

What you get out of it:

• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it.
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
