Software Engineering Intern

Who we are:

Profitable, no outside investors, and no plans to take any. We grow when customers pay us. Founded in 2013, we now have 17 employees.

Overview:

Our Core Services 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 role is fully remote within the US. We keep meetings to a minimum and work mostly async.

• 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
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer

Who can apply:

• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
