Python Engineering Intern - Remote

About us

Projects under development total another 8 gigawatts across New York. We have more than 5 gigawatts of renewable capacity in operation.

The internship

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 within the US. The team meets in New York City once a quarter, travel covered. We keep meetings to a minimum and work mostly async.

Day to day

• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger

• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
