Software Engineering Intern (Summer 2027)

About HCH Certified Public Accountants

HCH Certified Public Accountants is a top-50 accounting and advisory firm with 350 people in offices across the US. Since 1929, the firm has grown through mergers with regional CPA practices. Fridays in summer end at noon.

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. You can set your own hours around a daily morning check-in. Day-to-day communication is in Slack and Google Meet.

Responsibilities

• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• 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
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day

Who can apply

• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply
• 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
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests

Nice to have

• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP

What you get out of it

• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
