About the internship

Whistleloft is hiring a Software Engineering Intern for Jul 2027. 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. We are headquartered in Thornton and have been hiring remotely since 2020. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in Thornton, and the stipend is paid monthly in reais. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Central time.

Your projects

• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.

Basic qualifications

• Based in Brazil for the duration of the internship.
• Available for the full internship period.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.

Nice to have

• Knowledge of Linux command line basics.
• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.
• Contributions to an open source project, however small.

What you get out of it

• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it.
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
