Python Engineering Intern - Spring 2027

About Four Corners Payments:

Most of the day-to-day work involves portfolio rebalancing, tax-loss harvesting and quarterly reviews. Quarter-end is busy, and everyone helps with client review prep.

The internship:

Our Internal Tools 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. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US. Flexible hours with a daily team call in the morning.

What you'll do:

Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations. Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer. 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. Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.

Who can apply:

Available 40 hours a week for the full internship. Based in the US for the duration of the internship. Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2027 or 2028. A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself. Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours. Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.

What you'll learn:

How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored. Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers. Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure. Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it.
