Internship overview

DBS Digital is hiring an SDE Intern for Immediately. 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. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Lakewood team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Expect to work a schedule that overlaps with US Eastern business hours until about noon ET. Reliable internet and a power backup are a must.

What you'll do

• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.

Basic qualifications

• Can commit full time, from home, for the whole internship.
• Students currently pursuing B.Tech, BE, BCA, MCA, B.Sc or a related degree, or fresh graduates (2027 batch)
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.

Preferred qualifications

• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.
• Knowledge of Linux command line basics.
• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work.

What you get out of it

• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
