Software Engineering Placement (12 months)

Who we are:

Headquartered in Houston, the company has grown since 2020 by acquiring regional IT providers. Our field services team covers retail chains, hospitals and banks, dispatching technicians to over 4,000 sites.

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

Responsibilities:

• 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.
• 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.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.

What we're looking for:

• Available for the full internship period.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.

What you'll learn:

• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it.
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
