Software Developer Intern

Who we are

Our engineering group is split into roughly 60 product teams, each owning its services end to end, with on-call shared across time zones. Product, engineering and support teams work out of offices in Chicago, Illinois and two nearshore delivery centers.

About the role

This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. Remote within the US. The team meets in Chicago once a quarter, travel covered. Most communication happens in Slack, with short video calls when needed.

Responsibilities

• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.

Who can apply

• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2027 or 2028.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.

What you get out of it

• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next.
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
