Software Engineering Intern

Customers who call us usually reach someone who wrote the code they are asking about. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

About the role

The intern will work on internal tools and APIs used by our support and operations staff. Daily standup on Google Meet, everything else async on Slack. We are headquartered in Naperville and have been hiring remotely since 2020. You will intern remotely with our team in Naperville. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Central time.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2026 or 2027.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
