SDE Intern

About 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. As an intern, you will:

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

2. Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them

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

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

5. Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result

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

Skill(s) required: Data Structures, JavaScript, Java, SQL, Git, REST API, English Proficiency (Written)
