Django Developer Intern (Remote)

Most of our traffic is mobile, so the iOS and Android apps get as much attention as the website. Local news, classifieds and event listings for Punjab make up the core of the site. We ship small changes daily rather than big quarterly releases.

OVERVIEW:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. You can work from home anywhere in Pakistan. We have no office requirement. Weekday working hours, with room to shift your day when needed. You will need a stable internet connection and a backup power source (UPS or inverter).

DAY TO DAY:

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. Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same. Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them. 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. Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.

REQUIREMENTS:

Based anywhere in Pakistan. Own a laptop and have stable internet at home, ideally with a UPS backup. Available for at least 30 hours a week, work from home. Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects. Pursuing a B.Tech, B.E., BCA, MCA, BS Computer Science or a related degree, graduating in 2027.
