Software Development Intern

About Mumbai Commerce

Mumbai Commerce operates consumer websites and apps used by tens of millions of people each month. Traffic during holiday peaks can reach ten times normal levels, and the platform is built for it. We started in 1988 and have grown to about 112,900 people. We ship small changes daily rather than big quarterly releases.

About the role

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. Remote, open to candidates across India. Weekday working hours, with room to shift your day when needed. We talk mostly in Slack and hop on quick calls when something needs discussing.

Day to day

• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.

• Students currently pursuing B.Tech, BE, BCA, MCA, B.Sc or a related degree, or fresh graduates (between December 2027 and June 2028 batch)
• Have a working laptop and a stable internet connection.

• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)

Preferred

• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.

What you'll learn

• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next.
