Python Engineering Intern

About us:

Quad Cities Asset Management is a fee-only advisory practice with two advisors, a paraplanner and an office manager. We know our clients well, often three generations of the same family. We have been family run since 1967. Compliance reviews outgoing client email, so expect to write carefully.

About the role:

The intern will work on internal tools and APIs used by our support and operations staff. Daily standup on Google Meet, everything else async on Slack. Remote position. Most of the team is in Lynn, but nobody is required to come in. Flexible hours with a daily team call in the morning.

What you'll do:

• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• 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.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.

Requirements:

• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship.
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2028.
• 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.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)

What you'll learn:

• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it.
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
