SDE Intern

About us

Our claims team handles property and auto claims from first notice of loss through settlement. Employee benefits clients use us for group health, dental, vision and life plans. We started in 1975 and have grown to about 60 people. Hail season means long days for field adjusters.

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. You will intern remotely with our team in Memphis. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Core hours overlap with US Central time, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CT. You will need a reliable internet connection and a quiet place to work.

What you'll do

• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.

Requirements

• Can start immediately or within two weeks.
• Have a working laptop and a stable internet connection.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Pursuing a B.Tech, B.E., BCA, MCA, BS Computer Science or a related degree, graduating in 2026 or 2027.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)

What you get out of it

• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.
