Python Engineering Intern

Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day. We're looking for a Python Engineering Intern. We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US. We do not have many meetings. Most updates happen in writing.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them

YOU SHOULD BE:

• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection

12 weeks, starting May 2027. Stipend: $41.00 to $50.00 per hour.

Perks: Paid sick time, Mentorship from a dedicated buddy and manager, Intern events and speaker sessions (virtual), Paid company holidays, Company laptop.

Send us your resume. No cover letter needed.

Duration: 12 weeks. Start: May 2027.
