Software Engineer Intern

Palmetto Software employs 340 people across engineering hubs in New York City and three other locations, building ERP software for mid-market manufacturers. Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day.

Overview

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Remote, open to candidates across the US. Few meetings, lots of written updates. We ship you a laptop and accessories before your first day.

Day to day

• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works

Who can apply

• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself

Nice to have

What you get out of it

• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
