Software Engineer Intern

About us:

From the San Jose office, we cover clients within about a two-hour drive and support remote sites through RMM tools. Mulberrybridge IT provides managed IT for offices of 10 to 200 users: help desk, patching, backups, Microsoft 365 and firewall management. Founded in 2003, we now have 160 employees.

The internship:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. You can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement. We keep meetings to a minimum and work mostly async.

Responsibilities:

• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• 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
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack

Who can apply:

• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2027 or 2028
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)

What you get out of it:

• 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
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
