About the role

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Remote, open to candidates across the US. Flexible schedule. We have one team call a day, usually in the morning. A quiet workspace and good internet are required.

Day to day

Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works. 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. Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them. Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger. Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.

Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++. A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself. Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.

What you'll learn
