Software Engineer Intern

About Farrow Labs:

Our engineering group is split into roughly 60 product teams, each owning its services end to end, with on-call shared across time zones. Product, engineering and support teams work out of offices in Chicago, Illinois and two nearshore delivery centers.

Overview:

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. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. Most communication happens in Slack, with short video calls when needed.

Day to day:

Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them. Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks. Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works. Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems. Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same. Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.

Requirements:

Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2027 or 2028. Based in the US for the duration of the internship. Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period. Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection. Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY). Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests. Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work. Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.

Nice to have:

Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef. Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express. Knowledge of Linux command line basics.

What you get out of it:

Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure. Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers. You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
