Software Engineer Intern

Ridgeview Mutual Insurance is a property and casualty insurer writing policies in 30 states through independent agents.

The internship:

Our Integrations 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. This role is fully remote within the US. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Responsibilities:

• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• 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
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger

Requirements:

• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++

Bonus points:

• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP
• Knowledge of Linux command line basics
• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef

What you get out of it:

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