Summer Software Engineering Intern

More than 9,000 organisations use our HR and payroll suite, from regional hospitals to school districts. Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems licence our asset management platform under multi-year contracts.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

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 internship is fully remote. Interns join our Norwalk team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Expect to work a schedule that overlaps with US Eastern business hours until about noon ET.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• 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.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2028.
• Eligible to work in Germany.
• Available for the full internship period.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• 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.

BONUS POINTS:

• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef.
• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.
• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP.
