SDE Intern

Most work comes in through ConnectWise tickets, with a dispatch board for onsite visits. Help desk calls are answered from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with an on-call tech covering nights and weekends. Tickets live in ConnectWise and everyone logs time to the quarter hour.

About the role:

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. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in India. Few meetings, lots of written updates.

Responsibilities:

• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result

Requirements:

• Women starting or restarting their careers are encouraged to apply
• Can start immediately or within two weeks
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express
• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP
• Contributions to an open source project, however small

What you get out of it:

• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
