Software Developer Intern

Headquartered in Kansas City since 2002, the company now sells in 40 countries and supports customers in 11 languages. Releases go out Tuesday mornings, never on Fridays.

The internship:

Our Integrations team is five engineers working fully remote across two time zones. The intern picks up small backend tickets first and moves to bigger features once comfortable. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. Strong written English is important, since much of our work is async.

What you'll do:

• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.

Requirements:

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2027.
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.

Bonus points:

• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef.

What you'll learn:

• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it.
