Software Developer Intern

Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day. Thomas Systems employs 1,000 people across engineering hubs in New York City and three other locations, building ERP software for mid-market manufacturers.

Internship overview:

Thomas Systems is hiring a Software Developer Intern for June 2027. We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Remote position. Most of the team is in New York City, but nobody is required to come in. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short.

Your projects:

• 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
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them

What we're looking for:

• 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)
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests

Preferred qualifications:

• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP
• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef

What you'll learn:

• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
• 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
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure

Program dates: June 2027, 10 weeks.

Compensation: $44.50 - $58.50/hr

Benefits for interns:

• Return offer opportunities
• Final presentation to leadership
• Paid sick time
• Learning and development stipend

Thomas Systems provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants.

Duration: 10 weeks. Start: June 2027.
