Summer Software Engineering Intern (Remote)

Bittern Business Technology is a small IT shop: the owner, four technicians and a part-time office manager. We're looking for a Summer Software Engineering Intern (Remote). This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. You will intern remotely with our team in New York City. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Expect to work a schedule that overlaps with US Eastern business hours until about noon ET. You need a reliable internet connection and somewhere quiet to work.

The work:

• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.

Requirements:

• Based in Austria for the duration of the internship.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
