Software Developer Intern

About Brickset:

Large rollouts are routine here, such as imaging 12,000 laptops for a state agency over one summer. Brickset is a managed services provider with 800 employees, supporting more than 1,500 client organizations across the US. Our dress code is a company polo and clean jeans.

The internship:

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. You can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement. Monday to Friday, regular working hours, flexible start and finish. You get a company laptop and a headset before you start.

Day to day:

• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• 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
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2027
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• 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
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
