Software Engineer Intern - Summer 2027

We run one of the larger SaaS platforms for commercial insurance carriers, processing millions of policy transactions a year. Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day. Laptops are MacBook Pros, and you pick your own editor.

About the role:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. You will intern remotely with our team in Leeds. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Working hours overlap with UK business hours.

What you'll do:

• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.

Who can apply:

• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• 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++.
