Software Developer Intern

About us

No call center and no offshore help desk. When clients call, one of us picks up. Every tech does a bit of everything, from printer jams to firewall rules. Our dress code is a company polo and clean jeans.

The internship

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US. Flexible hours with a daily team call in the morning. We send you a laptop and the accessories you need on day one.

Day to day

• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• 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.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.

Requirements

• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship.
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.

Bonus points

• Contributions to an open source project, however small.
