Intern Backend & Systems
Internship | Remote | 2 months | No Stipend
Role:
Architecting the Engine and Infrastructure.
The Mission We are moving fast, replacing boilerplate solutions with a custom, high-performance architecture. You will help build a custom product catalog to replace Shopify and manage complex multi-merchant payout systems.
The Stack:
Logic: Next.js 16 API Routes & Drizzle ORM (Type-safe SQL).
Database: Supabase (PostgreSQL).
Payments: Stripe Connect (Multi-merchant payouts & splits).
Infrastructure: Docker (Node 20 Alpine), GHCR, and GitHub Actions CI/CD.
What You'll Do:
- Design and migrate Postgres schemas using Drizzle ORM to handle thousands of products and transactions.
- Build the backend logic for Stripe Connect, ensuring sellers get paid accurately and on time.
- Manage the Dockerized deployment flow to our VPS via GitHub Actions.
- Optimize SQL queries to ensure the content feed stays lightning-fast even as the DB grows.
Requirements:
- Solid understanding of PostgreSQL and Relational Database Design.
- Experience with Node.js and TypeScript.
- Curiosity about DevOps (Docker, SSH, CI/CD pipelines).
- Bonus: You've integrated Stripe or another payment gateway in a personal project.
