Software Developer Intern

Job DescriptionJob DescriptionCurrently enrolled in an accredited associate's, bachelor's, or technical certificate? Part-time, 20+ hrs/week during standard business hours, In-office (Covington, OH) Write code that ships to real clients. While you're still in school! Most internships hand you a sandbox project that gets deleted when you leave. This one doesn't.As a Software Developer Intern at Marias Technology, you'll contribute to actual client work — software solutions, system integrations, and data extraction tools built for insurance companies that depend on them running correctly. Your code goes through real review, real testing, and real deployment.You'll learn what school can't easily teach: how professional software actually gets built. Version control discipline. Code review as a two-way conversation. Writing something maintainable enough that the person who inherits it six months from now isn't cursing your name. What you'll work onWorking closely with the Software Services team and under the supervision of senior developers, you'll:Assist in developing software solutions and system integrations for insurance company clientsLearn to build solutions that let multiple systems communicate and share data effectivelyComplete assigned coding tasks in Java, SQL, TypeScript, JavaScript, and other technologies — with support and code review from the teamRead and interpret technical specifications, business requirements, and system documentation to understand project scopeWrite clean, maintainable code that meets quality standardsTest and debug your work with guidance from senior developersDocument code, solutions, and technical processes clearly for the teamGain exposure to RESTful APIs, webhook integrations, and data exchange between systemsLearn about cloud platforms (Azure/AWS) and observe deployment and monitoring practicesPractice Git version control best practices and participate in basic CI/CD workflowsShadow experienced developers during code reviews and technical discussionsAttend weekly mentoring sessions with the Software Services Manager The mentorship is the pointYou'll have a standing weekly one-on-one with the Software Services Manager. Not a check-the-box meeting — actual time to ask what you didn't understand, get direction on what to learn next, and talk through the technical challenges you're stuck on.Beyond that, you'll sit in on code reviews and technical discussions with developers who have been doing this for years. You'll be expected to ask questions when you're stuck. We'd far rather answer them than debug the consequences of a guess. What you needRequiredCurrently enrolled in or recently completed an Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related technical fieldCompleted foundational coursework in programming, data structures, and algorithmsCoursework or academic projects using one or more of: Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, C#, SQLSolid grasp of core programming concepts — variables, loops, functions, objects, basic data structuresAvailability for a minimum of 20 hours per week during standard business hoursNice to haveExposure to or coursework in APIs, databases, and object-oriented programming principlesFamiliarity with Git, or the ability to pick up version control quicklyWillingness to learn additional languages and frameworks as needed (Java, VB.NET, Python, PHP, Angular, Node.js)Curiosity about cloud platforms (Azure/AWS), CI/CD workflows, and modern development practicesPersonal coding projects, hackathons, or open-source contributions — we genuinely look at these Who tends to thrive hereYou ask when you're stuck. Not after three days of silent strugglingYou care about quality, not just whether it compilesYou take feedback well. Code review isn't criticism, it's how the work gets betterYou think through problems logically before reaching for helpYou communicate. Status, blockers, and questions — before they become surprisesYou're reliable. When you commit to a deadline, you either hit it or flag it earlyYou actually want to do this for a living.
