Python Engineering Intern

Who we are

Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day. Thomas Systems employs 1,000 people across engineering hubs in New York City and three other locations, building ERP software for mid-market manufacturers.

The internship

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. This role is fully remote within the US. Weekday working hours, with room to shift your day when needed. A quiet workspace and good internet are required.

Day to day

• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage

Who can apply

• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2028
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours

• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
