Software Engineer Intern (Full-Stack Development Focus)

About Us

We build cutting-edge digital tools for medics so they can save more lives.

At Muru, we push the limits of technology to tackle one of the largest problems faced by EMS — making medical decisions from guidelines that are scattered throughout multiple PDFs, printed documents, agencies, and websites. By building the “Siri of Protocols,” medics can now get the answers they need instantly, so every patient receives the highest standard of care.

Our clients range from the entire State of New York to the Department of Defense, reflecting the trust placed in our work at the highest levels.

We’re looking for a college student who’s passionate about quality engineering and eager to learn how software gets built, tested, and shipped in production. This role will give you hands-on experience with full-stack web development.

About the Role

As an intern, you’ll contribute to a business-critical web application. The role will start focused on frontend React development and grow into full stack development. The role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, purpose-driven learning environment. The hours are part-time during the fall and spring semesters.

Responsibilities

Frontend Development

• Make improvements and bug fixes to a large React web application.
• Work with and improve the application’s design system.
• Work with a GraphQL API to fetch data for the application.
• Conduct manual testing and set up automated UI tests.

Full-Stack Development

• Create API endpoints using NodeJS to support new frontend features.
• Design efficient SQL queries.
• Create unit tests and integration tests for the API.

What You’ll Learn

• How to develop a large web application with a complex data model.
• How to use GraphQL to fetch data with precision and efficiency.
• How to design and query a relational database for a complex real-world application.
• How to write and organize unit, integration, and UI tests.
• How professional engineering teams work: creating pull requests, responding to code review, testing your code, and shipping changes safely to production.

What We’re Looking For

• Student actively working towards a bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, engineering, or a similar technical field.
• Experience writing code in JavaScript or TypeScript.
• Experience building web applications using a framework such as React or Vue. (Coursework and personal projects count!)
• Familiarity with SQL database queries.
• Understanding of REST or GraphQL APIs at a conceptual level.
• Comfort using the command-line terminal for basic tasks (i.e. navigating directories, running scripts).
• Interest in developing both web UIs and API servers.
• Excited about growing into a broader engineering role over time.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Why Join

• Get hands-on experience with a wide variety of software engineering skills.
• You'll be paired with a mentor who will review your code, help you solve difficult problems, and meet with you regularly.
• Contribute to a mission-driven product that supports frontline workers.
• Learn directly from a small, experienced team and see your impact immediately.
