Software Developer Intern (Remote)

About us

Headquartered in Toronto since 2004, the company now sells in 40 countries and supports customers in 11 languages. We started in 2004 and have grown to about 910 people.

The internship

Our Core Services 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. Remote within Canada. The team meets in Toronto once a quarter, travel covered. We do not have many meetings. Most updates happen in writing.

What you'll do

• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• 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
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
