Python Engineering Intern

About us:

We run a marketplace with over 300,000 active sellers and fulfillment centers in four regions. Since 2003, the company has expanded from listings into payments, shipping and seller financing.

The internship:

This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. Remote position. Most of the team is in Nashville, but nobody is required to come in. Few meetings, lots of written updates.

Responsibilities:

• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• 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.
• 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.

Requirements:

• 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.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.

• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.
