Software Developer Intern

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.

The internship

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. You can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. We ship you a laptop and accessories before your first day.

Day to day

• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• 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
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
