Software Engineering Intern (Spring 2027)

Our product started as a side project in 2017 and now has a few hundred paying customers, mostly in Arizona. Chandler Software is a 41-person software shop in Chandler. The founders still answer support tickets. Most engineers work remotely and come into the office one week a quarter for planning.

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. You can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement. We keep meetings to a minimum and work mostly async.

Day to day

• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger

Who can apply

• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2027 or 2028
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours

What you get out of it

• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
