Software Engineer Intern

Customers who call us usually reach someone who wrote the code they are asking about. We're looking for a Software Engineer Intern. 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. Remote within Peru. The team meets in Lima once a quarter, travel covered. You can set your own hours around a daily morning check-in. Good written English matters here, since most updates are written.

The work

• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day

Requirements

• Based in Peru for the duration of the internship
• Eligible to work in Peru
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
