Software Development Intern

Headquartered in Phoenix, the company has grown since 1983 by acquiring regional IT providers. After-hours on-call comes around every fourth week.

Internship overview:

Irissmith is hiring a Software Development Intern for Jan 2027. 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. Our headquarters is in Phoenix, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Phoenix team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Core hours overlap with US Central time, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CT. You get a company laptop and a headset before you start.

Your projects:

• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.

Who you are:

• Available for a full-time (work from home) internship for the full duration.
• Students currently pursuing B.Tech, BE, BCA, MCA, B.Sc or a related degree, or fresh graduates (2028 batch)
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• 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 2028.

Nice to have:

• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef.

What you get out of it:

• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.

Program dates: Jan 2027, 6 months.

Compensation: ₹49,000 to ₹57,000/month

What we offer:

• 5 days a week.
• Letter of recommendation.
• Certificate.
• Informal dress code.

We may close the role early, so do not wait too long to apply.

Duration: 6 months. Start: Jan 2027.
