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

Overview:

The intern will work on internal tools and APIs used by our support and operations staff. Daily standup on Google Meet, everything else async on Slack. This role is fully remote within India. We keep meetings to a minimum and work mostly async. You will write a lot of updates, so clear written English is important.

What you'll do:

• 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
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result

Who can apply:

• Students currently pursuing B.Tech, BE, BCA, MCA, B.Sc or a related degree, or fresh graduates (2027 batch)
• Can start right away or within the next two weeks
• Women starting or restarting their careers are encouraged to apply

• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
