Software Developer Intern (Summer 2027)

About us:

We operate two 24/7 network operations centers and a security operations center, staffed in three shifts.

Overview:

The intern will work on internal tools and APIs used by our support and operations staff. Daily standup on Google Meet, everything else async on Slack. Remote within the US. The team meets in New York City once a quarter, travel covered. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short. We send you a laptop and the accessories you need on day one.

Responsibilities:

• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• 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.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.

What we're looking for:

• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply.
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.

Bonus points:

• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.

What you get out of it:

• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it.
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next.
