Software Engineering Placement (12 months)

Who we are

Lapointe Apps builds scheduling and dispatch software for field service companies, from two-truck plumbing outfits to regional HVAC contractors. Customers use our platform to manage equipment rentals: reservations, check-out, damage photos, invoicing and QuickBooks sync. We keep recurring meetings to Tuesdays and Thursdays where we can.

Overview

The intern will work on internal tools and APIs used by our support and operations staff. Daily standup on Google Meet, everything else async on Slack. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in Vancouver, and the stipend is paid monthly in local currency. Our standups are at 9:00 AM Pacific. You get a company laptop and a headset before you start.

Responsibilities

Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day. Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.

Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks. Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
