You will assist in developing custom software solutions and system integrations for insurance clients while working under the supervision of senior developers. Responsibilities include writing clean, maintainable code, participating in code reviews, and documenting technical processes.
Requirements overview
Candidates must be currently enrolled in or have recently completed an associate's or bachelor's degree in a technical field. You should have foundational knowledge in programming, data structures, and algorithms, along with experience in languages like Java, Python, or JavaScript.
We provide software testing, system implementation, and software services to companies in the insurance industry. With our deep domain experience and expertise, we’re familiar with your challenges. We’ve overcome them before. And we’re ready to help you overcome yours.
In our 17 years we've worked with more that 85 insurance companies, running more than 22 different policy administration system, and led implementations of countless third-party integrations. Our customers range in size from startups and small mutuals, to over $5 billion in size.
Specifically tailored to insurance carriers and MGAs, our services include software testing, system implementation, and software services such as documentation, configuration, investigation, and custom development. We enable our clients to get out from under the mountain of IT and operational work and to concentrate on the business in which they specialize.
Our name, (pronounced ma-RYE-ess) originates from a pass in the Montana Rockies. The discovery of the pass in 1889 helped people find their way over the mountain in their westward migration. In much the same way, we believe we help our clients make their way in their migrations from operational challenges to fiscal success. We named our company Marias Technology to honor the ingenuity and the perseverance of the Great Northern Railroad — and to reflect our commitment to that same ingenuity and perseverance.

Description
Currently 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 — custom 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 on
Working closely with the Software Services team and under the supervision of senior developers, you'll:
Assist in developing custom software solutions and system integrations for insurance company clients
Learn to build solutions that let multiple systems communicate and share data effectively
Complete assigned coding tasks in Java, SQL, TypeScript, JavaScript, and other technologies — with support and code review from the team
Read and interpret technical specifications, business requirements, and system documentation to understand project scope
Write clean, maintainable code that meets quality standards
Test and debug your work with guidance from senior developers
Document code, solutions, and technical processes clearly for the team
Gain exposure to RESTful APIs, webhook integrations, and data exchange between systems
Learn about cloud platforms (Azure/AWS) and observe deployment and monitoring practices
Practice Git version control best practices and participate in basic CI/CD workflows
Shadow experienced developers during code reviews and technical discussions
Attend weekly mentoring sessions with the Software Services Manager
The mentorship is the point
You'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 need
Required
Currently enrolled in or recently completed an Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related technical field
Completed foundational coursework in programming, data structures, and algorithms
Coursework or academic projects using one or more of: Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, C#, SQL
Solid grasp of core programming concepts — variables, loops, functions, objects, basic data structures
Availability for a minimum of 20 hours per week during standard business hours
Nice to have
Exposure to or coursework in APIs, databases, and object-oriented programming principles
Familiarity with Git, or the ability to pick up version control quickly
Willingness 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 practices
Personal coding projects, hackathons, or open-source contributions — we genuinely look at these
Who tends to thrive here
You ask when you're stuck. Not after three days of silent struggling
You care about quality, not just whether it compiles
You take feedback well. Code review isn't criticism, it's how the work gets better
You think through problems logically before reaching for help
You communicate. Status, blockers, and questions — before they become surprises
You're reliable. When you commit to a deadline, you either hit it or flag it early
You actually want to do this for a living. This isn't a checkbox on a graduation requirement
What you get
$22–$24/hour, paid semi-monthly via direct deposit
Weekly one-on-one mentoring with the Software Services Manager
Real production experience across multiple languages, frameworks, and cloud platforms — the kind that fills a resume with substance instead of coursework
Employee store discounts: Glacier View Coffee (10%), Pacific Coast Surf Shop (25%), Elias & Oliver Boutique (25%)
A schedule built around students — 20+ hours a week during business hours
A genuine path to full-time. This internship is designed with the potential to transition into a full-time Software Developer role
Please note: as a part-time internship, this position is not eligible for medical, dental, vision, or PTO benefits.
