Software Engineer Intern

About us:

Large rollouts are routine here, such as imaging 12,000 laptops for a state agency over one summer. Brickset is a managed services provider with 800 employees, supporting more than 1,500 client organizations across the US. Our dress code is a company polo and clean jeans.

Overview:

The intern will work on internal tools and APIs used by our support and operations staff. Daily standup on Google Meet, everything else async on Slack. This role is fully remote within the US. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Day to day:

• 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.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.

• 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.

Preferred:

• Knowledge of Linux command line basics.

What you'll learn:
