Software Developer Intern

Who we are

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. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US.

What you'll do

• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger

What we're looking for

• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work

What you get out of it

• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
