Software Engineer Intern

About us:

Most of what we build is back-office software for property managers, including lease tracking, work orders and tenant payments. We started in 2002 and have grown to about 90 people.

The internship:

Our Core Services 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. Hours are flexible, with one short team call each morning. Good written English matters here, since most updates are written.

Day to day:

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

Who can apply:

• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply.
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• 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.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.

Bonus points:

• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work.
• Contributions to an open source project, however small.
• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.
