Software Engineering Intern

About us

Stations in New York include network affiliates and independent stations. Most reporters cover more than one beat.

About the role

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Our headquarters is in New York City, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our New York City team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Expect to work a schedule that overlaps with US Eastern business hours until about noon ET. You will need a reliable internet connection and a quiet place to work.

Responsibilities

• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• 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
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger

What we're looking for

• Based in Romania for the duration of the internship
• Eligible to work in Romania
• Available for the full internship period
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2028
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours

Nice to have

• Contributions to an open source project, however small

What you'll learn

• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next

Duration: 6 months

Start date: Mar 2027
