The Role

The Ten Thousand Coffees (10KC) Engineering team has 10+ members.

Our previous interns experienced full-cycle product developments. Therefore, Interns in Ten Thousand Coffees enjoy the same level of product ownership, including building out new client and server-side features, working through our product backlog, and assisting in partner integration, as anyone in the Engineering team. Interns are here to build products, not features .

What you’ll do

• Collaborating with the team to build frontend and backend product features from start to finish: through conception, research, implementation, and maintenance.
• Building a high-quality front-end and back-end product that our customers love and innovating informal talent development.
• Being a part of an engineering culture of fast iteration and shipping.
• Helping scale our engineering team, whether that’s through writing docs, or improving our DevOps.
• Collaborating with other members of the Engineering Team via code reviews, stand-ups, and pair programming when necessary.
• Helping debug production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack.

Experience and Skills you will need and learn:

• 3rd or 4th-year student who enrolls in a Bachelor of Engineering Degree (or equivalent to Mathematica and Science)
• Has at least taken 2 software engineering internships in the previous semester
• Experience with HTML, Sass/LESS, Javascript
• Experience with MongoDB/NoSQL databases
• MEAN tech stack coding experience (MongoDB, Express, AngularJS and NodeJS)
• Familiarity with single-page web (SPA’s) applications
• Familiarity with Agile software development practices and principles (e.g. Test/Behaviour Driven Development, Continuous Integration, etc.)
• You care about writing beautiful, maintainable code, and well-crafted user experiences.
• You believe that getting the product to the hands of users as fast as possible is the best way to learn how to solve their problems. We value progress over perfection and hope you share that passion.
• You deeply care about who we're building for and understand the impact of the product you're shipping.
• You have a proven track record of success in building production-level software.
• You are able to communicate nuanced ideas clearly, whether you're explaining technical decisions in writing or in real time. In disagreements, you are able to engage thoughtfully with other perspectives and compromise when needed.

10KC provides a competitive salary commensurate with experience. The salary range for this role is: $32 - $37.30 per hour
