Software Engineering Intern (Summer 2027)

About us

Third-party administration is the other half of the business, processing self-funded health claims. We specialize in commercial insurance for contractors, trucking companies and restaurants.

The internship

Our Internal Tools 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. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US. Please make sure you have a quiet place to work and a solid internet connection.

Day to day

• 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
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day

What we're looking for

• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• 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

Nice to have

• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work

What you get out of it

• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next

• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers
