Software Engineering Intern

Who we are

More than 9,000 organizations use our HR and payroll suite, from regional hospitals to school districts.

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. We are headquartered in Toronto and have been hiring remotely since 2020. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Toronto team on daily calls and get a named mentor. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Eastern time. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

What you'll do

• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• 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
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
