Intern

Job Description — Founding Intern (Product Engineering)Role

Founding Intern — Product Engineering

Location: Chirag Delhi, New Delhi

Mode: In-person / work-from-office setup

Type: Internship

Team Size: Early-stage, high-ownership environment

About the Role

We are looking for a Founding Intern to work closely with the founder in building ambitious, high-complexity technology products across UniToko and TAIC.

This is not a narrow internship where you will be limited to one small area of work.

You may work across frontend, backend, product workflows, integrations, research, debugging, architecture support, AI-assisted workflows, and execution support, depending on your strengths and the needs of the product. The right person will be excited by this, not overwhelmed by it.

This role is for someone who wants to learn fast, build deeply, solve hard problems, and grow into real responsibility over time.

About the Products

You will contribute to platforms that go beyond basic application development.

1)

A connected retail and commerce ecosystem involving:

• Admin systems
• Business-side workflows
• Customer-facing experiences
• Delivery and fulfillment logic
• Product, catalog, store, and operational systems
• AI-enabled tools for scale and automation

2)

An AI-first company operating system focused on:

• Business workflows
• Employee and task management
• Organizational systems
• Governance, compliance, and operations
• AI-enabled enterprise tooling
• Deeply integrated product architecture across functions

These are not simple intern projects.

The systems being built are broad, layered, and technically demanding.

What You'll Work On

Depending on your skill mix, you may work on areas such as:

Frontend Engineering

• Building responsive interfaces in React and Flutter
• Creating clean, scalable component-based UI systems
• Implementing forms, dashboards, tables, workflows, and product flows
• Improving UX, structure, and interaction quality
• Integrating frontend with APIs and application state

Backend Engineering

• Building and extending APIs using Node.js
• Working with PostgreSQL data models and queries
• Handling CRUD flows, validations, business logic, and integrations
• Designing scalable backend structures for product, workflow, and admin systems
• Supporting authentication, permissions, and operational logic

Product and Technical Execution

• Debugging and fixing issues across the stack
• Understanding product requirements and converting them into execution
• Working with structured data, API contracts, and real business workflows
• Helping shape product systems, not just isolated screens
• Supporting architecture discussions and feature implementation

AI and Workflow Support

• Working with AI-assisted development workflows
• Understanding how AI can be integrated into product features and internal systems
• Supporting prompt-based workflows, research flows, automation logic, and AI-enabled product functionality
• Using modern AI tooling productively and responsibly

Required / Preferred Technical Exposure

You do not need to be perfect in everything below, but you should have some hands-on comfort in a meaningful subset:

• JavaScript
• Node.js
• React
• Flutter
• PostgreSQL
• SQL
• REST APIs and API integration
• JSON-based data handling
• Debugging and troubleshooting
• Git / version control basics
• Understanding of frontend-backend integration
• Basic software architecture awareness
• Familiarity with AI tools / AI-assisted coding / workflow tooling

Additional Technical Capabilities That Would Be Valuable

These are not mandatory, but they will be highly useful for the kind of systems we are building across UniToko and TAIC:

• TypeScript
• Express.js or similar Node backend frameworks
• State management in React
• Form handling and validation
• Database design and relational thinking
• Query optimization basics
• Authentication / authorization concepts
• Role-based access systems
• Admin panel or dashboard development
• Mobile app workflow understanding
• Reusable component system thinking
• Clean code structuring and refactoring ability
• Performance-minded development
• AI feature implementation thinking
• Ability to read, understand, and work across a large codebase

Who This Role Is For

This role is for someone who:

• Learns quickly
• Takes ownership
• Is comfortable figuring things out
• Does not freeze when things get complex
• Is willing to work across multiple layers of the product
• Cares about building things properly
• Wants to become genuinely capable over time
• Can handle feedback and improve fast
• Is not looking for a casual 2–3 month line-item internship
• Wants long-term growth and deeper involvement
• Stipend discussable

What Matters More Than Credentials

We care strongly about behavior and mindset.

You do not need to come in as a complete expert.

What matters more is whether you:

• Take work seriously
• Can stay consistent
• Care about quality
• Have hunger to improve
• Solve problems instead of avoiding them
• Are willing to do the hard work required to build meaningful products

What You'll Gain

• Direct exposure to real product building
• High ownership from an early stage
• Opportunity to work closely with the founder
• Learning across frontend, backend, product, and systems thinking
• Exposure to AI-enabled product development
• A chance to grow into a bigger role over time if there is strong alignment

Work Environment

• Early-stage team
• High-trust, high-accountability setup
• Small team, real work, real ownership
• In-person work setup near Chirag Delhi Metro Station
• Daily travel required

Important Note

This role begins as an internship, but the intention is to work with people who can grow into something much bigger over time.

If you are looking for a place where you can hide inside a narrow job description, this is probably not for you.

If you want to build, learn deeply, and become dangerous across product and engineering, this may be a strong fit.
