Software Developer Intern

About us

Clients range from single-location retailers to franchise groups with hundreds of stores, all running our point-of-sale and loyalty software. Most of what we build is back-office software for property managers, including lease tracking, work orders and tenant payments. Most engineers work remotely and come into the office one week a quarter for planning.

Overview

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. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in Canada. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday.

Day to day

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. Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same. Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems. Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.

Requirements

Available for the full internship period. Eligible to work in Canada. Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2027 or 2028. Based in Canada for the duration of the internship. Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection. A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself. Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY). Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period. Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work. Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.

Nice to have

Knowledge of Linux command line basics. Contributions to an open source project, however small. Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.

What you'll learn

Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next. Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it. Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure. How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
