Software Developer Intern

ABOUT US:

From the San Jose office, we cover clients within about a two-hour drive and support remote sites through RMM tools. Mulberrybridge IT provides managed IT for offices of 10 to 200 users: help desk, patching, backups, Microsoft 365 and firewall management. Founded in 2003, we now have 160 employees.

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. Normal business hours, Monday to Friday, with some flexibility. We ship you a laptop and accessories before your first day.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• 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.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply.
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2026 or 2027.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)

NICE TO HAVE:

• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work.
• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP.

WHAT YOU GET OUT OF IT:
