Python Engineering Intern (Summer 2027)

Who we are:

Clients rely on us for laptop setup, Intune enrollment, backup monitoring and after-hours help when something breaks. Typical projects include office moves, server migrations to Azure, and replacing aging switches and access points. Lunch is usually whatever is closest to the client site.
