Software Developer Intern

Who we are

No call center and no offshore help desk. When clients call, one of us picks up.

The internship

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. This role is fully remote within the US.

Responsibilities

• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result

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
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2028
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
