Summer Software Engineering Intern

About Shalehall Financial

Most clients live within an hour's drive and come in for reviews twice a year. Planning is done in RightCapital and portfolios are managed in Orion. We have been family run since 1989. Most staff have been with the firm for more than eight years.

Overview

Our Integrations 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. We are headquartered in Anchorage and have been hiring remotely since 2020. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in Anchorage, and the stipend is paid monthly in euros. Core hours are 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM US Eastern.

What you'll do

Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same. Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger. Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks. Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day. Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them. Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result. Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations. Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.

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. Based in France for the duration of the internship. Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection. Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours. Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.

Nice to have

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

What you'll learn

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