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.

The program

Frisco Data is hiring a Software Developer Intern for June 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. This role is fully remote within the US. Few meetings, lots of written updates. You will write a lot of updates, so clear written English is important.

What you'll do

Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result. Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day. Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations. Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks. Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets. Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works. Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.

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. Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects. Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours. Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY). Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period. Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.

Nice to have

Knowledge of Linux command line basics.

What you get out of it

You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends. Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.

Program dates: June 2027, 12 weeks.

Compensation: $45.50-$58.00 an hour

Paid sick time. Flexible hours. Paid company holidays. Mentorship from a dedicated buddy and manager. Final presentation to leadership.
