Software Engineer Intern

About us:

Headquartered in Hartford, the company runs operations centers in Connecticut and two other locations. Institutional clients include pension funds, endowments and insurance companies. Founded in 1974, we now have 800 employees.

About the role:

This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. You can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short. Please make sure you have a quiet place to work and a solid internet connection.

Day to day:

Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger. Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets. Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations. Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer. 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. Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.

Who can apply:

Based in the US for the duration of the internship. Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply. Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2027 or 2028. Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests. Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++. Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
