Software Development Intern - Remote

About us:

Cottonbound IT is a small IT shop: the owner, four technicians and a part-time office manager. Lunch is usually whatever is closest to the client site.

Overview:

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. You will intern remotely with our team in Fort Wayne. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Eastern time.

Day to day:

• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• 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
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same

What we're looking for:

• Available for at least 30 hours a week from home
• Own laptop and a reliable internet connection
• Final-year students or recent graduates of BSc in CSE, EEE, BBA or a related subject
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• Pursuing a B.Tech, B.E., BCA, MCA, BS Computer Science or a related degree, graduating in 2026, 2027 or 2028
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects

Duration: 6 months

Start date: Immediately

Stipend: BDT 34,000-BDT 47,000 a month

What we offer:

• Performance bonus
