Software Engineering Intern

More than 9,000 organisations use our HR and payroll suite, from regional hospitals to school districts. We're looking for a Software Engineering Intern. Our Integrations 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. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in New York City, and the stipend is paid monthly in USD. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Eastern time.

The work

• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.

Requirements

• Available for the full internship period.
• Eligible to work in Colombia.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.
