Internship overview:

Prairiemark is hiring an SDE Intern for Immediately. We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. We are headquartered in Indianapolis and have been hiring remotely since 2020. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Indianapolis team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Expect to work a schedule that overlaps with US Eastern business hours until about noon ET. A stable internet connection and a backup power option are required.

Responsibilities:

• 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
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage

• Own a laptop and have stable internet at home

• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours

Nice to have:

• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef
• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work

What you get out of it:

• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers
