Software Engineer Intern

Who we are:

Customers who call us usually reach someone who wrote the code they are asking about. Most engineers work remotely and come into the office one week a quarter for planning.

About the role:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US. Weekday working hours, with room to shift your day when needed. Please make sure you have a quiet place to work and a solid internet connection.

Responsibilities:

• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks

Who can apply:

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
