Software Developer Intern

We run one of the larger SaaS platforms for commercial insurance carriers, processing millions of policy transactions a year. Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

About the internship:

Frisco Data is hiring a Software Developer Intern for May 2027. 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 position. Most of the team is in Frisco, but nobody is required to come in. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. You will write a lot of updates, so clear written English is important.

What you'll do:

• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• 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

What we're looking for:

• 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
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects

Preferred qualifications:

• Contributions to an open source project, however small
• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP
• Knowledge of Linux command line basics

What you'll learn:

• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
• 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

Program dates: May 2027, 12 weeks.

Intern pay: $39.50 to $53.50 per hour

What we offer:

• Intern events and speaker sessions (virtual)
• Learning and development stipend
• Return offer opportunities
• Mentorship from a dedicated buddy and manager

Duration: 12 weeks. Start: May 2027.
