SDE Intern

About us:

Our engineering, trust and safety, and customer support teams work across offices in New York City and several other countries. We ship small changes daily rather than big quarterly releases.

Overview:

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 team is spread across 12 countries. Headquarters is in New York City. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in New York City, and the stipend is paid monthly in taka. Expect to work a schedule that overlaps with US Eastern business hours until about noon ET.

What you'll do:

• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.

What we're looking for:

• Based anywhere in Bangladesh.
• Available for at least 30 hours a week from home.
• 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.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.

What you get out of it:

• 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.
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
