Software Engineering Intern

Our main product is a payroll and timekeeping app for hourly workforces, sold by subscription and supported from New York City. Customers use our platform to manage equipment rentals: reservations, check-out, damage photos, invoicing and QuickBooks sync. Laptops are MacBook Pros, and you pick your own editor.

About the role:

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 will intern remotely with our team in New York City. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Core hours are 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM US Eastern.

Day to day:

• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• 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
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them

Requirements:

• Based in Germany for the duration of the internship
• Eligible to work in Germany
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
