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:

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 Atlanta once a quarter, travel covered. Flexible hours with a daily team call in the morning. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

What you'll do:

• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• 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
• 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
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer

What we're looking for:

• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028
• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++

What you get out of it:

• 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
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers
