Our team is spread across 20 countries. Headquarters is in Brownsville. You will intern remotely with our team in Brownsville. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Core hours overlap with US Central time, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CT.

What you will do:

• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
