Software Engineering Placement (12 months)

About us:

Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems licence our asset management platform under multi-year contracts. More than 9,000 organisations use our HR and payroll suite, from regional hospitals to school districts. We started in 1994 and have grown to about 390 people. Code review is required on every pull request, and nobody merges their own changes.

Overview:

Our Platform 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 Charlotte, the US. We are a distributed team spread across a few time zones. You will intern remotely with our team in Charlotte. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Eastern time. We send you a laptop and the accessories you need on day one.

Responsibilities:

• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• 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.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.

Requirements:

• Based in Australia for the duration of the internship.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2027.
• Eligible to work in Australia.
• 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++.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.

What you get out of it:

• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.
