Software Developer Intern

Who we are

Since 2012, the company has sold practice management software to dental and veterinary clinics in the US. Laptops are MacBook Pros, and you pick your own editor.

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. Remote, open to candidates across the US. Monday to Friday, regular working hours, flexible start and finish. We send you a laptop and the accessories you need on day one.

Responsibilities

• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• 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.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
