Software Developer Intern

About us

Customers who call us usually reach someone who wrote the code they are asking about. Founded in 2008, we now have 12 employees. Code review is required on every pull request, and nobody merges their own changes.

Overview

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Remote, open to candidates across the US. Flexible schedule. We have one team call a day, usually in the morning. Most communication happens in Slack, with short video calls when needed.

Responsibilities

• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.

What we're looking for

• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2027 or 2028.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• 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

• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work.
• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP.
• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.
