Software Engineering Intern

Most of what we build is back-office software for property managers, including lease tracking, work orders and tenant payments. We started in 2002 and have grown to about 90 people.

About the role

Our Internal Tools 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. You can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. Communication happens mostly in Slack and short video calls.

Responsibilities

• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• 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.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.

Who can apply

• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply.
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• 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.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.

What you get out of it

• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it.
