Python Engineering Intern

Since 2013, the firm has grown through acquisitions of independent advisory practices. Licensing exams (SIE, Series 7, Series 66) are paid for, with study time during work hours.

About the role:

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. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US. Hours are flexible, with one short team call each morning. Strong written English is important, since much of our work is async.

Responsibilities:

Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day. Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger. Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage. Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets. Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result. Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.

Requirements:

Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply. Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028. Available 40 hours a week for the full internship. Based in the US for the duration of the internship. 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++.

What you'll learn:

Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure. You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
