Software Developer Intern (Remote)

We are a small community bank where the loan officer and the branch manager are often the same person. Customers walk in with questions and get answers at the teller line, not from a phone tree. Cash audits are unannounced, and balancing to the penny is expected.

Overview

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. You can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short. Clear written English is a must, as the team works across time zones.

What you'll do

• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• 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
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result

Requirements

• 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 2026 or 2027
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects

Nice to have

• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work
• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP
• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express

What you get out of it

• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
