Software Engineering Placement (12 months)

More than 9,000 organisations use our HR and payroll suite, from regional hospitals to school districts. Product, engineering and support teams work out of offices in New York City, New York and two nearshore delivery centres. Most engineers work remotely and come into the office one week a quarter for planning.

Overview:

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. We are headquartered in New York City and have been hiring remotely since 2020. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our New York City team on daily calls and get a named mentor. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Eastern time.

Responsibilities:

• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.

What we're looking for:

• Based in Colombia for the duration of the internship.
• Eligible to work in Colombia.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2028.
• Available for the full internship period.

• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
