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.

About the role

This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. Remote, open to candidates across the US. Flexible schedule. We have one team call a day, usually in the morning.

Day to day

• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result

Who can apply

• 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 2026, 2027 or 2028
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours

• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
