Software Engineering Placement (12 months)

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 internship:

Mumbai Commerce is hiring a Software Engineering Placement (12 months) for Jun 2027. Our Platform team is five engineers working fully remote across two time zones. The intern picks up small backend tickets first and moves to bigger features once comfortable. Our team is spread across 6 countries. Headquarters is in Mumbai. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in Mumbai, and the stipend is paid monthly in local currency. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Responsibilities:

• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer

What we're looking for:

• Based in Qatar for the duration of the internship
• Available for the full internship period
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)

Nice to have:

• Contributions to an open source project, however small
• Knowledge of Linux command line basics
• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef

What you'll learn:

• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored

Program dates: Jun 2027, 12 months.

Pay: QAR 11,500 - QAR 15,000/month

What we offer:
