Software Developer Placement Student

More than 9,000 organisations use our HR and payroll suite, from regional hospitals to school districts. Product, engineering and support teams work out of offices in New York City, New York and two nearshore delivery centres. Most engineers work remotely and come into the office one week a quarter for planning.

The internship:

Our Core Services team is five engineers working fully remote across two time zones. The intern picks up small backend tickets first and moves to bigger features once comfortable. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our New York City team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Expect to work a schedule that overlaps with US Eastern business hours until about noon ET. Communication happens mostly in Slack and short video calls.

Responsibilities:

• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
