Software Engineering Intern (Part-Time)

We're looking for a motivated software engineering intern to help maintain and expand our suite of custom internal applications. You'll work semi-independently alongside our senior engineers, taking ownership of real tasks with regular check-ins and guidance. This is a hands-on role across the full stack, from frontend to cloud infrastructure.

This is a hybrid role based in our Salt Lake City office. With the exception of an initial HR phone screen, all interviews will be conducted in person at our Salt Lake City office — no video interviews for subsequent rounds. Relocation assistance is not available; candidates must already be located in the Salt Lake metro area.

Responsibilities

Full-Stack Development

• Implement new features in our Angular frontends and NestJS/Go backend services, following existing patterns and architectural guidelines
• Audit and update npm/Go module dependencies across projects, addressing breaking changes and keeping applications current
• Support WordPress site maintenance including plugin updates and minor configuration changes
• Quality Assurance and Testing
• Write and maintain unit, integration, and end-to-end tests, increasing coverage across frontend and backend codebases
• Perform exploratory and regression testing on new features and bug fixes before release, documenting findings clearly
• DevOps and Infrastructure
• Apply OS and software updates to AWS-hosted servers and assist with routine maintenance tasks under senior guidance
• Help configure and provision new infrastructure using Ansible playbooks managed through Semaphore UI
• Assist with OpenTofu configurations for AWS resources and contribute to playbooks and modules that improve repeatability in our deployment pipelines
• Project Tracking and Time Management
• Log work and track time accurately in Jira for all assigned tasks
• Keep tickets updated with progress notes and flag blockers promptly during check-ins

What We're Looking For

• Coursework or personal projects in web development (any stack)
• Familiarity with TypeScript, JavaScript, or Go
• Basic comfort with the command line and version control (Git)
• Curiosity about cloud infrastructure and how systems are deployed
• Able to work independently and ask good questions when stuck
• Attention to detail, especially around testing and documentation

Nice to Have

• Experience with Angular or NestJS (we're happy to train the right candidate on both)
• Any experience with AWS services (EC2, S3, RDS, etc.)
• Familiarity with Ansible, Terraform, or any infrastructure-as-code tooling
• Prior experience managing or contributing to a WordPress site
• Experience writing tests with any common testing framework

This is a part-time position. You'll be onboarded alongside senior engineers and expected to take initiative on assigned tasks. We're happy to teach tools we use like Semaphore UI and OpenTofu; curiosity matters more than prior experience with them.
