Software Engineering Intern

Description

Who we are looking for:

We are hiring a Full Stack Software Engineering Intern for Summer of 2024 to contribute to our rapid product development pace. We work collaboratively to set the technical direction for our SaaS products, developing easy-to-use solutions for our customers. Our engineers find a deep satisfaction in building things that customers actually need. We focus on delivering value to customers and understand that this often means delivering code that isn't perfect but meets customer needs.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who has a passion for building leading-edge software and is driven to help build a successful SaaS product used by thousands of happy businesses. We foster an environment that empowers small teams to collaboratively set the technical direction of our solutions.

This opening could be on any of our AppFolio Property or Investment Management product development teams - whichever have openings.

Your impact:

• Develop scalable, robust, and simple web-based solutions to solve complex business problems
• Formulate, implement, and evaluate algorithms and database queries to support SaaS scalability and stability.
• Implement new features and optimize existing ones to drive maximum performance
• Use test-driven development, code reviews and continuous integration to deliver high quality software, and rapidly fix bugs as they come up.
• Work closely with, and incorporate feedback from other engineering team members, QA, and product owners, and our APM customers
• Leveraging agile practices, encourage collaboration, prioritization, and urgency to develop at a rapid pace
• Research, share, and recommend new technologies and trends
  
  
  

Qualifications:

• You’ve heard of Ruby and Rails and have some experience working with a language like Ruby, Java, or Python. You may even know enough about Javascript to have opinions about how frequently "the new hot thing" changes.
• You love learning about new technologies but understand the value of continuing to use something old if it still does everything you need it to do.
• You care about the long-term maintainability of the codebase and will learn to advocate for refactoring and clean-ups where appropriate.
• You care about work-life balance and want your company to care about it to; you'll put in the extra hour when needed but won't let it become a habit.
• Currently pursuing BS, MS, or Ph.D in Computer Science or related technical discipline
• Hands-on work/internship experience developing web-based applications, preferably in a SaaS environment
• Creativity, ability to solve complex problems without a roadmap
