Software Engineer Intern

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:

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 the US. Weekday working hours, with room to shift your day when needed. We ship you a laptop and accessories before your first day.

Day to day:

• 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
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks

What we're looking for:

• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work

• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef
• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express
