Internship Teen Software Developer Jobs in Utah (NOW HIRING)

FairCom builds high-performance, mission-critical database technology used in demanding enterprise and industrial environments. As a Software Engineer (C/C++), you will work directly on the core of our database and data-management platforms, including FairCom DB, RTG, Edge, and MQ.

This is not a maintenance role. You will design, extend, and modernize production database systems that support real-world operations at scale. Working closely with Senior Engineers and Architects, you’ll help evolve long-lived systems, balance performance with correctness, and deliver reliable software our customers depend on every day.

If you enjoy deep systems work, understanding how data actually moves through a system, and writing code that must be right—not just fast—this role is for you.

The Day-to-Day:

• Build and evolve core database functionality used in production by enterprise and industrial customers
• Work in C/C++ and modern systems languages to deliver correct, fast, and reliable software
• Dive into query execution, indexing, storage, and transaction behavior
• Debug real problems in real systems—not toy services
• Own work end-to-end: design, code, test, ship
• Collaborate with senior engineers who care deeply about engineering craft
• Contribute clear technical documentation that explains design intent, tradeoffs, and operational behavior
• Occasionally participate in an on-call rotation to support enterprise customers in production environments

Requirements

• A formal degree in Computer Science, Software Design, and/or other Bachelor’s degree with equivalent on-the-job experience in Software Development.
• 4+ years of C/C++ experience
• 4+ years of experience coding in at least one of the following languages: COBOL, Python, Node.js, Java (JDBC), and/or PHP
• Basic understanding of JIRA and Agile methodologies.
• Sound understanding of how DBMS works as it pertains to SQL (relational) and NoSQL (non-relational) data models.
• Must live within commuting distance of a FairCom Office

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with IoT / IIoT and Raspberry Pi
• Experience with database internals or data-intensive systems
• Exposure to IoT or industrial systems
• Experience working with embedded platforms or constrained environments
• Internship or early-career experience in SaaS or enterprise software environments
