Software Engineer Trainee

About Menon Digital:

Our product started as a side project in 2017 and now has a few hundred paying customers, mostly in Telangana. Menon Digital is a 22-person software shop in Hyderabad. The founders still answer support tickets.

The internship:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. This role is fully remote within India. Flexible schedule. We have one team call a day, usually in the morning. Reliable internet and a power backup are a must.

What you'll do:

• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• 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
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works

Who can apply:

• Can start immediately or within two weeks
• Have their own laptop and a reliable internet connection
• Women returning to work after a career break are welcome to apply
• Students currently pursuing B.Tech, BE, BCA, MCA, B.Sc or a related degree, or fresh graduates (2026 or 2027 batch)
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++

What you get out of it:

• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
