Software Development Intern

No call centre and no offshore help desk. When clients call, one of us picks up. Clients have the owner's cell number, and the owner still takes the occasional Saturday call. Founded in 2021, we now have 31 employees.

About the role

Our Platform 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. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in Chicago, and the stipend is paid monthly in Indian rupees. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Central time. We talk mostly in Slack and hop on quick calls when something needs discussing.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• 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.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.

• Can start immediately or within two weeks.
• Women returning to work after a career break are welcome to apply.

• Are available for a full-time work from home internship for the entire duration.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.
• Pursuing a B.Tech, B.E., BCA, MCA, BS Computer Science or a related degree, graduating in 2027.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.

Preferred

• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef.

What you get out of it
