Python Developer Intern

We are a small, self-funded team building a booking app for independent salons and tattoo studios.

The internship:

This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in India. Reliable internet and a power backup are a must.

Responsibilities:

• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• 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
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same

What we're looking for:

• Can start immediately or within two weeks
• Available for a full-time (work from home) internship for the full duration
• Women starting or restarting their careers are encouraged to apply
• Students currently pursuing B.Tech, BE, BCA, MCA, B.Sc or a related degree, or fresh graduates (2026 or 2027 batch)
• 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
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself

Preferred:

• Contributions to an open source project, however small

What you'll learn:

• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
