Your Opportunity

As a Software Engineering Intern on Team.Matrix, you'll contribute to the modernization of a critical internal debugging utility currently hosted in a legacy diagnostic website called Zion Reloaded, written in JavaScript with React. This tool is used to debug search-service runtime deduplication.

Your work will help preserve valuable diagnostic functionality while enabling the retirement of the legacy system. You'll gain hands-on experience working across frontend and backend technologies, learning how real-world internal tools are migrated, validated, and productionized.

What You'll Do

Review and understand the existing Zion Reloaded diagnostic utility written in JavaScript (React), including its user workflows and behavior

Assist in migrating the utility to a Python + JavaScript backend using Flask

Help port frontend functionality from React/JavaScript to integrate with a Flask-based backend

Implement or extend Flask APIs/endpoints used by the diagnostic tool

Help ensure functional parity by testing the new implementation against the legacy site

Write and maintain basic unit or integration tests to validate expected behavior

Contribute to documentation, including setup instructions and usage notes

Collaborate with Team.Matrix engineers to troubleshoot issues and refine the migrated tool

Your Team

You'll be joining Team.Matrix, a team focused on building and maintaining internal diagnostic and operational tools for search-service systems. The team's work helps engineers debug complex search runtime behaviors-such as deduplication-and reduces time-to-resolution for production issues.

You'll collaborate closely with senior engineers who will mentor you through the design, implementation, and validation phases of the migration.
