About us

Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day. Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems license our asset management platform under multi-year contracts.

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 position. Most of the team is in Allentown, but nobody is required to come in. Flexible schedule. We have one team call a day, usually in the morning.

What you'll do

• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• 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.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.

What you get out of it
