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. Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems license our asset management platform under multi-year contracts.

OVERVIEW

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. You can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement. Flexible schedule. We have one team call a day, usually in the morning. You will need a reliable internet connection and a quiet place to work.

DAY TO DAY

• 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
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• 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
• 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

REQUIREMENTS

• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• 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 2027
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work

WHAT YOU GET OUT OF IT

• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers
