Backend Development Intern

About us:

Since 2011, the company has sold practice management software to dental and veterinary clinics in India. Clients range from single-location retailers to franchise groups with hundreds of stores, all running our point-of-sale and loyalty software.

About the role:

The intern will work on internal tools and APIs used by our support and operations staff. Daily standup on Google Meet, everything else async on Slack. Remote, open to candidates across India. Please make sure you have a quiet place to work and a solid internet connection.

What you'll do:

Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result. Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them. Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations. Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks. Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer. Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems. Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.

Who can apply:

Women wanting to start or restart their career can also apply. Can commit full time, from home, for the whole internship. Students currently pursuing B.Tech, BE, BCA, MCA, B.Sc or a related degree, or fresh graduates (2026 or 2027 batch). Own a laptop and have stable internet at home. Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work. A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself. Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.

Preferred:

Knowledge of Linux command line basics. Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express. Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work.

What you get out of it:

Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers. Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure. How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
