Job description

FULL-STACK WEB DEVELOPMENT INTERN POSITION

We are seeking a candidate with a unique blend of technical skill and creativity to thrive in our fast-paced environment. Rather than working on a single website, our Full‑Stack Web Development Intern works across multiple live products spanning several of our business lines — including residential leasing, entertainment and events, and tourism — as well as internal tools and a new application we are actively developing. You'll design, build, and modify real, production websites used by real customers every day.

Responsibilities

• Build and modify responsive front‑end features and pages as specified by the design team
• Design and implement APIs, and integrate third‑party services (payments, booking, email marketing, and more) across our products
• Develop and maintain dynamic, interactive web applications across the full stack
• Update and ship requested changes to live sites, including pages, content, and images
• Test, debug, and continuously improve the design, performance, and functionality of our sites
• Write clear documentation for the features and systems you build
• Collaborate with designers and owners to turn ideas into working products
• Help maintain quality and consistency across all our web properties
• Build and integrate AI‑powered features using large language model APIs (e.g. retrieval‑augmented generation / RAG, smart search, automation)

Qualifications

• Must currently reside in Columbia, Missouri area — this position is onsite
• Experience using Git
• Hands‑on experience building dynamic, interactive web applications
• Ability to write clean, efficient, well‑documented code with a focus on quality and maintainability
• Strong problem‑solving and debugging skills, with the ability to analyze unfamiliar code and find practical, innovative solutions independently
• Comfortable taking a feature or project from requirements through to delivery, with clear specifications and documentation
• Experience with (or eagerness to learn) AWS products such as EC2 and RDS
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions) for automated testing and deployment
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work seamlessly with both technical and non‑technical teammates and contribute to the team’s growth
• Preferred: exposure to AI/LLM tools and APIs (e.g. the Claude or OpenAI APIs, RAG, vector databases)
• Authorized to work in the U.S.
