Software Engineer Intern (Remote)

Since 1986, the company has expanded from listings into payments, shipping and seller financing. Traffic during holiday peaks can reach ten times normal levels, and the platform is built for it.

About the role:

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. Weekday working hours, with room to shift your day when needed. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

What you'll do:

• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• 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.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• 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.

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.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• 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.

Nice to have:

• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef.

Duration: 12 weeks

Start date: May 2027

Stipend: $47.00 to $49.50 an hour

Perks:

• Mentorship from a dedicated buddy and manager.
