Backend Development Intern

The product is a mobile app plus a React web dashboard, with a Python and PostgreSQL backend on AWS.

About the role

Our Core Services team is five engineers working fully remote across two time zones. The intern picks up small backend tickets first and moves to bigger features once comfortable. Our team is spread across 17 countries. Headquarters is in Bristol. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in Bristol, and the stipend is paid monthly in Indian rupees. Working hours overlap with UK business hours.

What you'll do

• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.

What we're looking for

• Can start right away or within the next two weeks.
• Students currently pursuing B.Tech, BE, BCA, MCA, B.Sc or a related degree, or fresh graduates (2026 or 2027 batch)
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.

What you'll learn

• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
