Software Engineering Intern

WHO WE ARE

We support about 60 local businesses, most within 30 minutes of the office. Clients have the owner's cell number, and the owner still takes the occasional Saturday call. Lunch is usually whatever is closest to the client site.

OVERVIEW

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Remote within the US. The team meets in New York City once a quarter, travel covered. Equipment is provided, including a laptop.

DAY TO DAY

Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks. Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger. Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result. Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems. Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them. Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations. Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.

WHO CAN APPLY

Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2027. Based in the US for the duration of the internship. Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply. Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++. Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY). Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection. Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.
