Python Engineering Intern

Our warehouses and distribution centers total over 20 million square feet. Tamarackyard Freight is a logistics company with 540 employees and operations in 30 countries.

The internship:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Remote, open to candidates across the US. Monday to Friday, regular working hours, flexible start and finish. You get a company laptop and a headset before you start.

What you'll do:

• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works

Requirements:

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2027 or 2028
• Based in the US 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
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period

What you get out of it:

• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
