Software Engineering Intern

Our lab is a back room full of test hardware, old routers and a rack of virtual machines. Small enough that you will talk to clients directly in your first week. Founded in 2009, we now have 14 employees.

Overview

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. The company is based in Tampa, the US. The team is distributed across several countries. Remote internship with a team based in Tampa. The stipend is paid at the end of each month. Expect to work a schedule that overlaps with US Eastern business hours until about noon ET. You need a reliable internet connection and somewhere quiet to work.

• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result

• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger

Who can apply

• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection

Nice to have
