The internship:

This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. Remote position. Most of the team is in Mumbai, but nobody is required to come in. We do not have many meetings. Most updates happen in writing.

Day to day:

• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage

Requirements:

• Can start right away or within the next two weeks
• Have their own laptop and a reliable internet connection
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• Pursuing a B.Tech, B.E., BCA, MCA, BS Computer Science or a related degree, graduating in between December 2027 and June 2028
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
