Node.js Developer Intern

Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems licence our asset management platform under multi-year contracts. Founded in 2005, we now have 280 employees. Laptops are MacBook Pros, and you pick your own editor.

The internship:

Our Integrations 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. Remote within Pakistan. The team meets in Karachi once a quarter, travel covered. Few meetings, lots of written updates.

Day to day:

• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• 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
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets

Who can apply:

• Own a laptop and have stable internet at home, ideally with a UPS backup
• Based anywhere in Pakistan
• 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
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Pursuing a B.Tech, B.E., BCA, MCA, BS Computer Science or a related degree, graduating in 2028
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
