Software Engineering Intern

Incident response is a big part of the work: ransomware recovery, business email compromise and forensic investigations. Based in New York City, Carter Threat Labs also trains client staff and runs simulated phishing campaigns.

About the role

Our Integrations 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. Remote within the US. The team meets in New York City once a quarter, travel covered. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short.

Day to day

• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• 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.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.

What we're looking for

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2028.
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship.
• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.

Preferred

• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.
• Knowledge of Linux command line basics.
• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work.

Duration: 4 months

Start date: Jan 2027

Stipend: $45.00 to $53.00/hr
