Software Engineer Intern

Product, engineering and support teams work out of offices in Sydney, New South Wales and two nearshore delivery centers. We're looking for a Software Engineer Intern. 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. We are headquartered in Sydney and have been hiring remotely since 2020. You will intern remotely with our team in Sydney. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. You will need some overlap with Australian Eastern time in the mornings.

The work

• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.

About you

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2026 or 2027.
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.

3 months, starting immediately. Stipend: $46.00 to $51.50 per hour.

Perks: Intern events and speaker sessions (virtual), Learning and development stipend, Final presentation to leadership.
