Software Engineer Trainee

Who we are

Small accounting firms in Karnataka use our engagement letter and e-signature tool, and most heard about us from a colleague. Cedarflow is a 13-person software shop in Bengaluru. The founders still answer support tickets.

Overview

The intern will work on internal tools and APIs used by our support and operations staff. Daily standup on Google Meet, everything else async on Slack. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in India. We keep meetings to a minimum and work mostly async. You will need a stable internet connection and a backup power source (UPS or inverter).

Responsibilities

• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• 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.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.

• Pursuing a B.Tech, B.E., BCA, MCA, BS Computer Science or a related degree, graduating in between December 2027 and June 2028.
