The Role: Real-World Product Engineering

This is a hands-on internship designed for a Master's or high-performing Undergraduate student. You will work directly with the Head of Product on the development of our current platform. You will move beyond theory and gain experience in a live-adjacent environment, learning how a high-growth medical tech product is built, documented, and maintained.

Key Responsibilities

• Backend & Data Infrastructure: Work directly with Azure-hosted SQL databases, managing connection strings, authentication models, and connection pooling.
• System Navigation: Navigate and manage backend systems (starting in our test environment) to ensure robust connectivity and data integrity.
• Workflow Integration: Plug into our agile development cycle using Jira and Confluence. You will track work, document technical processes, and manage hand-offs.
• Infrastructure Support: Assist in building and maintaining APIs (REST/JSON) and supporting the broader backend architecture.

What We're Looking For

• Education: Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
• SQL Fundamentals: Strong foundational experience with SQL querying and schema navigation.
• Cloud Awareness: Exposure to Azure (preferred), AWS, or GCP. You should understand the basics of cloud-hosted infrastructure and authentication.
• Technical Tools: Familiarity with at least one backend language (Python, C#, or Java).
• Experience with Git (branching, pull requests, and code reviews).
• Comfort working in a Linux shell or Windows PowerShell.
• Professionalism: A quick learner who understands how work is tracked and documented in a structured dev environment.

Why Intern at MedElite?

• Direct Mentorship: Daily collaboration and 1-on-1 guidance from the Head of Product.
• Mission-Driven Work: See your code impact doctors and patients across 15+ medical specialties.
• NYC Presence: Work from our Brooklyn office in a fast-paced, collaborative professional environment.

Why Work With Us?

• Make a meaningful impact in the nursing home community
• Work in a collaborative, mission-driven environment
• Enjoy work-life balance
