Taloncraft Commerce is hiring a Software Engineer Intern for June 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. Remote, open to candidates across the US. Hours are flexible, with one short team call each morning. You need a reliable internet connection and somewhere quiet to work.

Responsibilities:

• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• 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
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets

• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• 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++

Nice to have:

• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef
• Contributions to an open source project, however small
• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work

What you'll learn:

• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
