Overview

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 Pakistan. Standard office hours, Monday to Friday, with flexibility around them. Reliable internet and a power backup are a must.

Day to day

• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• 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
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger

What we're looking for

• Final-year students or fresh graduates of BSCS, BSSE, BBA or a related program
• Have a working laptop and a stable internet connection, ideally with a UPS backup
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period

What you get out of it

• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
