Software Development Intern (Remote)

About us

Since 2018, the company has expanded from listings into payments, shipping and seller financing. More than 480 employees work on the product, from search ranking to fraud detection.

Overview

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. You will intern remotely with our team in Phoenix. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Central time. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Responsibilities

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

Requirements

• Can start immediately or within two weeks.

• Students currently pursuing B.Tech, BE, BCA, MCA, B.Sc or a related degree, or fresh graduates (2026, 2027 or 2028 batch)

• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.

Preferred

• Contributions to an open source project, however small.
• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work.

What you'll learn
