Summer Software Engineering Intern

Who we are

Our bench is in the back of a strip-mall storefront, where we image laptops and swap failed drives. We started in 2008 and have grown to about 32 people.

About the role

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. Our team is spread across 6 countries. Headquarters is in Savannah. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Savannah 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. Clear written English is a must, as the team works across time zones.
