SDE Intern (Work From Home)

Everything runs on a single Rails app and one Postgres database, deployed on Heroku. Small accounting firms in Indiana use our engagement letter and e-signature tool, and most heard about us from a colleague. Founded in 2022, we now have 11 employees.

The internship

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 Indianapolis. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Core hours are 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM US Eastern.

Responsibilities

• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• 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
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works

What we're looking for

• Available for at least 30 hours a week from home
• Based anywhere in Bangladesh
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests

What you get out of it

• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at 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

Duration: 3 months

Start date: Within 2 weeks

Stipend: BDT 46,000 - BDT 51,000 pcm

What we offer

• Flexible work hours
• Certificate
• Pre-placement offer (PPO) for strong performers
• 5 days a week

Duration: 3 months. Start: Within 2 weeks.
