Software Engineer Intern

About Buckeyespan

Buckeyespan is a fee-only advisory practice with two advisors, a paraplanner and an office manager. Dress is business casual, and suits come out for client meetings.

Overview

Our Integrations 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 can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement. Hours are flexible, with one short team call each morning.

Day to day

• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• 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
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them

Requirements

• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
