Software Developer Intern

Since 1986, the company has expanded from listings into payments, shipping and seller financing. Traffic during holiday peaks can reach ten times normal levels, and the platform is built for it.

About the internship:

Taloncraft Commerce is hiring a Software Developer Intern for Jan 2027. 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. Hours are flexible, with one short team call each morning. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Your projects:

• 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.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.

Basic qualifications:

• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2028.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.

Preferred qualifications:

• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.
• Contributions to an open source project, however small.

What you get out of it:

• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.

Program dates: Jan 2027, 4 months.

Intern pay: $39.00 - $53.00 an hour
