SDE Intern

Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day.

Overview:

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. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our London team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Working hours overlap with UK business hours. Most communication happens in Slack, with short video calls when needed.

What you'll do:

• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
