Software Engineering Intern (Remote)

Who we are

Our main product is a payroll and timekeeping app for hourly workforces, sold by subscription and supported from New York City. Customers use our platform to manage equipment rentals: reservations, check-out, damage photos, invoicing and QuickBooks sync. Laptops are MacBook Pros, and you pick your own editor.

The internship

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. You will intern remotely with our team in New York City. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Expect to work a schedule that overlaps with US Eastern business hours until about noon ET. Day-to-day communication is in Slack and Google Meet.

Day to day

• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.

What we're looking for

• Available for the full internship period.
• Eligible to work in Germany.
• 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++.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.

Nice to have

• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP.
