Software Developer Intern

Our field services team covers retail chains, hospitals and banks, dispatching technicians to over 4,000 sites. We're looking for a Software Developer Intern. This is a hands-on coding internship.

Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. Most communication happens in Slack, with short video calls when needed.

The work

• 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.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.

Requirements

• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• 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)
