Software Engineering Intern

About GLM Insurance

Every account manager handles a full book, from quotes to renewals to claims questions. We have been writing policies for the same farms and small businesses since 2005. We started in 2005 and have grown to about 43 people.

The internship

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. You can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement. We ship you a laptop and accessories before your first day.

What you'll do

• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.

What we're looking for

• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply.
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2027 or 2028.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.

What you get out of it

• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next.
