Software Engineer Intern

Since 2005, the company has sold practice management software to dental and veterinary clinics in the US. Most of what we build is back-office software for property managers, including lease tracking, work orders and tenant payments. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

Overview:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Remote position. Most of the team is in Houston, but nobody is required to come in. Flexible hours with a daily team call in the morning.

What you'll do:

• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same

Requirements:

• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself

What you'll learn:

• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
• 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
