Software Engineer Intern

Clients range from single-location retailers to franchise groups with hundreds of stores, all running our point-of-sale and loyalty software. Most of what we build is back-office software for property managers, including lease tracking, work orders and tenant payments. Most engineers work remotely and come into the office one week a quarter for planning.

The internship

Our Internal Tools 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. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in Canada. We do not have many meetings. Most updates happen in writing. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Responsibilities

Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems. Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same. Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack. Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works. Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
