Software Engineer Intern

Every account manager handles a full book, from quotes to renewals to claims questions. Clients drop by to pay premiums, ask about a claim or just say hello. We started in 1986 and have grown to about 37 people.

Overview

Our Core Services 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. Remote position. Most of the team is in Philadelphia, but nobody is required to come in. Standard office hours, Monday to Friday, with flexibility around them. Good written English matters here, since most updates are written.

What you'll do

Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them. Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day. Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks. Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage. Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer. Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result. Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.

What we're looking for

Available 40 hours a week for the full internship. Based in the US for the duration of the internship. Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2028. Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours. Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work. Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection. Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.

What you'll learn

How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored. Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it. Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
