About the role

This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. This is a remote internship.

• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
