Backend Development Intern

Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day. Releases go out Tuesday mornings, never on Fridays.

About the internship:

Weaverflow is hiring a Backend Development Intern for Within 2 weeks. 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. You will intern remotely with our team in Portland. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. You will need at least 3 hours of overlap with US Pacific time. We ship you a laptop and accessories before your first day.

What you'll do:

Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer. Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger. 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. Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result. Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day. Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack. Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.

Who you are:

Own a laptop and have stable internet at home. 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. Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects. Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period. Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests. A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.

Nice to have:

Contributions to an open source project, however small.

What you get out of it:

Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next. How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored. Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it. Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.

Program dates: Within 2 weeks, 2 months.

Compensation: $550 - $600/month

Perks:

Letter of recommendation. Performance bonus. Flexible work hours.

Duration: 2 months. Start: Within 2 weeks.
