Software Engineering Intern - Remote

Who we are

Small accounting firms in England use our engagement letter and e-signature tool, and most heard about us from a colleague. Profitable, no outside investors, and no plans to take any. We grow when customers pay us. Laptops are MacBook Pros, and you pick your own editor.

The internship

This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. Our team is spread across 8 countries. Headquarters is in London. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in London, and the stipend is paid monthly in local currency. Working hours overlap with UK business hours. You will need a reliable internet connection and a quiet place to work.

Day to day

• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• 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.
