The Role

We are looking for a Software Developer Intern to help extend and improve our existing backend services, APIs, and the applications that consume them. You'll work with a modern, actively developed codebase — adding new features, improving data flows, and building new applications on top of our internal platform.

What You'll Do

API Development: Extend our existing REST APIs with new endpoints, features, and improvements to support business needs. Data Pipeline Work: Maintain and enhance the data pipelines that keep our systems in sync, including schema changes and data-quality improvements. Consumer Applications: Build and improve applications that consume our APIs — internal tools, integrations, and new services. Database Management: Work with relational database schema design, migrations, and structuring data to support new application logic. System Integration: Connect our backend services with external APIs and third-party tools.

What We're Looking For

Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Computer Science or a related field. Strong database skills: comfortable with SQL, schema design, and reasoning about how existing data models support application logic. Ability to read and work within an existing codebase — understanding established patterns before extending them. Proficiency in a backend language such as Java or Python; familiarity with REST API design or React is an asset. Ability to translate requirements into functional software features.

What You'll Gain

Real Production Experience: Ship features to live services that power day-to-day business operations. Full-Stack Depth: Work across the data pipeline, API layer, and consuming applications — seeing how each layer fits together. Portfolio Work: Concrete contributions to a production system in a live business environment.
