• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems

• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
