Python Engineering Intern (Remote)

Most clients live within an hour's drive and come in for reviews twice a year. Everyone here is salaried. Nobody is paid on product sales. Founded in 1969, we now have 11 employees.

The internship

Our Core Services team is five engineers working fully remote across two time zones. The intern picks up small backend tickets first and moves to bigger features once comfortable. Remote within the US. The team meets in Columbus once a quarter, travel covered. You get a company laptop and a headset before you start.
