Software Engineering Intern (Summer 2027)

Customers who call us usually reach someone who wrote the code they are asking about. Most engineers work remotely and come into the office one week a quarter for planning.

The internship

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. This role is fully remote within the US.

Responsibilities

• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer

What we're looking for

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours

What you get out of it

• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next

Duration: 10-12 weeks

Start date: Summer 2027

Stipend: $44.50 - $48.00 per hour

Perks

• Paid company holidays
• Paid sick time
• Return offer opportunities

If this sounds like a fit, apply with a resume. A cover letter is optional.
