Software Engineering Intern

Our product started as a side project in 2021 and now has a few hundred paying customers, mostly in New Mexico.

Overview:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Remote position. Most of the team is in Rio Rancho, but nobody is required to come in. Standard office hours, Monday to Friday, with flexibility around them. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Day to day:

• 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
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works

Requirements:

• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship

• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection

Nice to have:

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

What you'll learn:

• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
