About the internship

Our Internal Tools 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. Your day-to-day work will include:

1. Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.

2. Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks

3. Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger

4. Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.

5. Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.

6. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
