Python Engineering Intern

Founded as a farmers' mutual in 1933, the company is now one of the larger mutual insurers in the US. Founded in 1933, we now have 9,000 employees.

About the internship:

Stonebridge Assurance is hiring a Python Engineering Intern for May 2027. 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. Our headquarters is in Tallahassee, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Tallahassee team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Core hours are 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM US Eastern.

Your projects:

• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• 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
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result

Who you are:

• Eligible to work in Canada
• Based in Canada for the duration of the internship
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++

Nice to have:

• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP

What you get out of it:

• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it

Program dates: May 2027, 10-12 weeks.

Pay: $58.50 to $60.00 an hour

Perks:

• Flexible hours
• Learning and development stipend
• Paid sick time
• Home office setup stipend
• Mentorship from a dedicated buddy and manager
• Final presentation to leadership

This position requires a background check.

Duration: 10-12 weeks. Start: May 2027.
