Software Engineer Intern

Backend Engineer — SDE Intern

Sooru AI Private Limited · HSR Layout, Bengaluru · Hybrid · Full-time Internship · 6 months

About us

Sooru AI is an AI-native ConTech company. We build SpaceSync — a cloud BIM platform that lets architects go from a spatial program to a coordinated 3D model in minutes instead of weeks. Think Figma for architecture: browser-native, real-time, collaborative.

At the core is our patent-pending bidirectional sync engine, which keeps spreadsheets and 3D geometry in lockstep — edit a room area in a grid and the model updates; drag a wall and the numbers follow. It's a hard systems problem, and it's the thing you'd be helping build.

We're a small founding team shipping to real architecture firms and enterprise partners.

What you'll do

• Build and own REST and GraphQL endpoints that power SpaceSync's design modules
• Work on the sync engine — event pipelines, conflict resolution, and consistency between relational and document stores
• Implement async workloads with Celery for geometry processing, exports, and AI inference jobs
• Extend our real-time collaboration layer over Django Channels and WebSockets
• Write tests, review PRs, and ship to production behind feature flags — interns here merge code in week one, not month three

Our stack

Python 3.12 · Django 5.x · Django REST Framework · Strawberry GraphQL · PostgreSQL · MongoDB Atlas · Redis · Celery · Django Channels · Docker · AWS ECS Fargate

You won't know all of it. We don't expect you to.

What we're looking for

• Pre-final or final year student, or a recent graduate available full-time on-site in Bengaluru
• Strong Python fundamentals and comfort with data structures, algorithms, and SQL
• Hands-on experience with Django or DRF — a personal project, a hackathon build, or coursework you can walk us through
• Working knowledge of Git and a habit of reading documentation before asking
• Genuine curiosity about how systems fail, and the patience to find out why

Nice to have

• GraphQL, Celery, WebSockets, or Redis in a real project
• Docker, CI/CD, or any AWS exposure
• Open-source contributions or a GitHub profile with things you actually built
• Interest in geometry, CAD/BIM formats (IFC), or computational design

Why this internship

• Real ownership. You'll ship features used by practising architects, not internal tooling nobody sees.
• Direct access. You'll work alongside the CTO and founding engineers. No layers.
• Hard problems. Real-time sync, geometry pipelines, and multi-tenant architecture at scale.
• A path forward. Strong interns get full-time offers.

How to apply

Send your résumé and GitHub/portfolio to [Confidential Information] with the subject line Backend SDE Intern — [Your Name]. A short note on the most interesting thing you've built goes a long way.

Process: Application → take-home assignment (4–6 hours) → technical interview → conversation with the founders. We aim to close within 1 week.

Sooru AI is an equal opportunity employer. We hire on evidence of ability, not pedigree.
