Software Engineering Intern

About us:

Clients range from single-location retailers to franchise groups with hundreds of stores, all running our point-of-sale and loyalty software. LFL Cloud builds scheduling and dispatch software for field service companies, from two-truck plumbing outfits to regional HVAC contractors. Founded in 2013, we now have 140 employees. Laptops are MacBook Pros, and you pick your own editor.

Overview:

Our Core Services 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. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US. Normal business hours, Monday to Friday, with some flexibility.

Responsibilities:

• 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
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them

Who can apply:

• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• 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
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)

Nice to have:

• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work
• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP

What you get out of it:

• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
