Software Developer Intern

Third-party administration is the other half of the business, processing self-funded health claims. The company underwrites workers' compensation for small and mid-sized employers. We started in 1989 and have grown to about 150 people. Most of the office has been here more than ten years.

Overview:

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. Remote within the US. The team meets in Bossier City once a quarter, travel covered. Hours are flexible, with one short team call each morning. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

What you'll do:

• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• 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.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.

Who can apply:

• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028.
• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.

Nice to have:

• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP.
• Contributions to an open source project, however small.
• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.

What you get out of it:

• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
