Role Description: Unpaid full-time or part-time internship (20-40 hours a week) for an undergraduate intern with software engineering experience (Python + Django, other full-stack experience preferred) that could help accelerate the development of our API this summer.
Specifically, the team member would complete three main tasks:
- Full-stack Development Scoping (1-2 weeks) – The intern will evaluate the most popular stack architectures, identify pros/cons of each design, outline potential risks/synergies with integration with business customer platforms
- Identify Leading Software Strategies and Scope (1 week) – The intern will work with the co-founders to identify the full-stack development option that is best suited for the project. The intern will help develop a roadmap for software development based on the selected stack strategy combined with the product strategy and potential user feedback.
