Your projects

• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.

What we're looking for

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028.
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.

Nice to have

• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP.
• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef.
• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work.

What you'll learn

• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it.
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.
