Software Engineering Placement (12 months)

Most of our technicians are in the field all day doing installs, repairs and drops from a company truck. Cable splicing, OTDR testing and directional boring are all done by in-house crews.

About the role

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Remote internship with a team based in Phoenix. The stipend is paid at the end of each month. Core hours overlap with US Central time, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CT. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

What you'll do

• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• 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
