Software Engineering Intern (Remote)

Our field services team covers retail chains, hospitals and banks, dispatching technicians to over 4,000 sites. Enterprise clients outsource service desk, end-user support and data center operations to us under multi-year contracts. Tickets live in ConnectWise and everyone logs time to the quarter hour.

About the role

The intern will work on internal tools and APIs used by our support and operations staff. Daily standup on Google Meet, everything else async on Slack. Remote, open to candidates across the US. Normal business hours, Monday to Friday, with some flexibility. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• 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.

• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply.
