SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP
WELL’s Backend Engineering team is seeking a summer intern. You will work under the direction of our Engineering Director. This internship is paid and will be fully remote. You will gain invaluable hands-on experience working on implementing a backend customer service tool at a fast-paced startup. This is an exciting opportunity to build a tool that will help our Client Success team scale to serve thousands of healthcare organizations and their many millions of patients.
Our Client Success team often uses less than ideal tools to maintain and upgrade configuration information for our client health care organizations. They are looking forward to a modern tool suite that will give them an elegant, easy to use means to access and change these database driven settings. As our Backend Engineering Intern, you will work directly with our Engineering Director to scope and implement the first iteration of this tool. If successful, your implementation will serve as the basis for much more backend Admin tooling in the future. You will be working in React, NodeJs, and PostgreSQL, gaining proficiency across a full stack tech environment, and in working collaboratively with project stakeholders.
