Software Engineering Intern

About us:

Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems license our asset management platform under multi-year contracts. Founded in 2006, we now have 220 employees. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

The internship:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Remote within the US. The team meets in New York City once a quarter, travel covered. We do not have many meetings. Most updates happen in writing. You get a company laptop and a headset before you start.

What you'll do:

Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems. Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works. Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage. Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger. Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.

Who can apply:

Based in the US for the duration of the internship. Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply. Available 40 hours a week for the full internship. Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028. Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests. Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period. Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++. Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work. Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours. A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.

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.
