Software Developer Intern

Who we are

Customers use our platform to manage equipment rentals: reservations, check-out, damage photos, invoicing and QuickBooks sync. Most of what we build is back-office software for property managers, including lease tracking, work orders and tenant payments. Founded in 1998, we now have 100 employees.

About the role

This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US. We keep meetings to a minimum and work mostly async. Day-to-day communication is in Slack and Google Meet.

Responsibilities

• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result

• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship

• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects

Preferred

• Contributions to an open source project, however small
