Internship overview:

Glenforge is hiring a Software Engineer Intern for Summer 2027. 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. This role is fully remote within the US. Flexible schedule. We have one team call a day, usually in the morning. 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
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks

What we're looking for:

• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2028
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work

Preferred qualifications:

• Contributions to an open source project, however small
• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work
• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP

What you'll learn:

• 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
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it

Program dates: Summer 2027, 12 weeks.

Compensation: $37.50-$52.50 an hour

Benefits for interns:

• Home office setup stipend
• Intern events and speaker sessions (virtual)
• Paid sick time
• Return offer opportunities
• Learning and development stipend
