Software Engineer Trainee

About us:

Clients have the owner's cell number, and the owner still takes the occasional Saturday call. Our bench is in the back of a strip-mall storefront, where we image laptops and swap failed drives. Founded in 2024, we now have 15 employees. Tickets live in ConnectWise and everyone logs time to the quarter hour.

About the role:

Our Core Services team is five engineers working fully remote across two time zones. The intern picks up small backend tickets first and moves to bigger features once comfortable. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our San Antonio team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Core hours overlap with US Central time, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CT. We send you a laptop and the accessories you need on day one.

Responsibilities:

• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations

What we're looking for:

• Students currently pursuing B.Tech, BE, BCA, MCA, B.Sc or a related degree, or fresh graduates (2028 batch)
• Own a laptop and have stable internet at home
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++

What you'll learn:

• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends

Duration: 1 month

Start date: Jan 2027

Stipend: ₹50,000-₹68,000 per month

Perks:

• Pre-placement offer (PPO) for strong performers
• Informal dress code
• Certificate
• Flexible work hours
• Free access to paid learning courses
• Internet allowance

Duration: 1 month. Start: Jan 2027.
