Summer Software Engineering Intern

Planning is done in RightCapital and portfolios are managed in Orion. We know our clients well, often three generations of the same family. Dress is business casual, and suits come out for client meetings.

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. You can work from home anywhere in Switzerland. We have no office requirement. Hours are flexible, with one short team call each morning. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
