SDE Intern

About Westbury Data:

Westbury Data is a 4-person software shop in Pune. The founders still answer support tickets. Customers who call us usually reach someone who wrote the code they are asking about.

About the role:

The intern will work on internal tools and APIs used by our support and operations staff. Daily standup on Google Meet, everything else async on Slack. Remote position. Most of the team is in Pune, but nobody is required to come in. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short. Communication happens mostly in Slack and short video calls.

Responsibilities:

• 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
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• 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

Nice to have:

• Knowledge of Linux command line basics
• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work
