SDE Intern

About the work from home internship

Our Internal Tools 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. Your day-to-day work will include:

1. Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same

2. Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage

3. Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.

4. Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day

5. Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.

6. Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.

7. Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.

8. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.

Skill(s) required: Linux, SQL, REST API, Python, JavaScript, Git
