About Thrive Therapies Group

Thrive Therapies Group is a pediatric healthcare company focused on making schools more equitable and inclusive for students with disabilities. Our mission is to be the best pediatric healthcare company in the country for children with disabilities. Getting there means more than great providers; it means building the technology and systems that let our speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists and school psychologists do their best work, and creating clinical intelligence that improves care for under-resourced learners everywhere.

About the Role

Thrive Therapies Group is hiring a part-time Full-Stack Engineer Intern to join our product and technology team. You will build real features and internal tools, grow our automated test coverage, and learn how a production healthcare platform is designed, secured and shipped. You will work day to day with our Full-Stack Engineer and report to our Chief Product and Technology Officer. Our stack is Python and FastAPI, React and TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and AWS, with AI tools used throughout development.

What You’ll Do

• Build scoped features and internal tools in Python (FastAPI) and React with TypeScript
• Write automated tests and end-to-end browser testing, and help grow our test automation
• Work in an AI-assisted workflow that moves from plan to build, test, review and submit
• Ship low-risk changes through feature branches and pull request review
• Demo your work each week and take feedback from engineers and users
• Shadow providers and operations teams to understand the workflows you are building for

How We Work

• AI-native by default. We plan, build, test, review and submit with AI tools in the loop, and we expect you to reach for them without being asked.
• Weekly operating cadence. We plan on Monday, build continuously through the week, and release when the work is ready and tested.
• Forward-deployed. The people who build a tool also own its adoption. We sit with providers and operations teams, feel the manual pain first, then automate it.
• Plan, do, check, act. We write down what we intend, build it, measure whether it worked, and adjust.

Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor’s or master’s program in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related field
• Coursework or projects in Python and JavaScript or TypeScript
• At least one project with a web front end and a database, shared through GitHub or a portfolio
• Regular use of AI coding tools
• Availability of 15 to 20 hours per week with overlap during US Central business hours
• Ability to complete HIPAA training and pass a background check
• Exposure to AWS or another cloud platform

Preferred Experience

• SQL and PostgreSQL
• Experience with automated testing frameworks
• Interest in healthcare, education or disability services
