Software Developer Placement Student

Coalfield HQ runs an online marketplace where homeowners book local handymen, cleaners and movers. Local news, classifieds and event listings for California make up the core of the site. Experiments run constantly, and most product decisions follow A/B test results.

Overview

The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Los Angeles team on daily calls and get a named mentor. You will need at least 3 hours of overlap with US Pacific time.

• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
