SDE Intern

Who we are:

Copperleaf Media operates consumer websites and apps used by tens of millions of people each month. Advertising, subscriptions and transaction fees each bring in a significant share of revenue. Our office has a quiet floor and a loud floor.

Overview:

Our Core Services team is five engineers working fully remote across two time zones. The intern picks up small backend tickets first and moves to bigger features once comfortable. We are headquartered in New York City and have been hiring remotely since 2020. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our New York City team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Expect to work a schedule that overlaps with US Eastern business hours until about noon ET. Strong written English is important, since much of our work is async.

Responsibilities:

• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger

• Can commit full time, from home, for the whole internship
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects

Bonus points:

• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef
• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work

What you get out of it:

• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
