Software Engineering Intern (Summer 2027)

We are a small community bank where the loan officer and the branch manager are often the same person. Customers walk in with questions and get answers at the teller line, not from a phone tree. Cash audits are unannounced, and balancing to the penny is expected.

The internship

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. Clear written English is a must, as the team works across time zones.

Day to day

• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• 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
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them

What we're looking for

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2028
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself

Bonus points

• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work
• Contributions to an open source project, however small
• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef
