Node.js Developer Intern

ABOUT US

Books, gifts and toys fill the shelves, with author events every month. Paint matching, key cutting and screen repair are done at the service desk.

THE INTERNSHIP

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. Our headquarters is in London, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. You will intern remotely with our team in London. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. You will need to be available during UK office hours, at least until 3:00 PM GMT.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems. Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations. Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage. Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result. Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer. Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks. Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.

REQUIREMENTS

Available for at least 30 hours a week, work from home. Final-year students or fresh graduates of BSCS, BSSE, BBA or a related program. Based anywhere in Pakistan. 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. Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.

BONUS POINTS

Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef. Knowledge of Linux command line basics. Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.
