Software Engineering Intern - Remote

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:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in Mumbai, and the stipend is paid monthly in local currency.

Day to day:

• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• 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

Who can apply:

• Eligible to work in Japan
• Based in Japan for the duration of the internship
• Available for the full internship period
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests

What you'll learn:

• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it

Duration: 12 months

Start date: Jun 2027

Stipend: ¥360,000 - ¥460,000 per month
