Software Engineer Intern

Most clients live within an hour's drive and come in for reviews twice a year. Planning is done in RightCapital and portfolios are managed in Orion. We have been family run since 1989. Most staff have been with the firm for more than eight years.

Overview

This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. The company is based in Anchorage, the US. The team is spread across multiple countries. You will intern remotely with our team in Anchorage. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Eastern time.

What you'll do

• 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
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them

• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself

Bonus points

• Contributions to an open source project, however small
• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express
