About The Role

We are seeking an energetic, deeply curious Software Engineering Intern to join our fast-paced, high-growth engineering team. In this role, you will have the unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience building scalable applications while working alongside established industry leaders. We are looking for someone with a strong foundation in modern web development who is eager to learn, build and take ownership of real-world features.

Key Responsibilities

• Build & Contribute: Assist in designing and developing robust backend services and RESTful APIs using Node.js and MongoDB.
• Full-Stack Exposure: Support the team in delivering seamless user experiences across the MERN stack, bridging the gap between frontend components and backend data.
• Collaborate & Learn: Partner with senior engineers, product managers and designers to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
• Write Clean Code: Participate in code reviews, write unit tests and learn best practices for maintaining a scalable, production-grade codebase.
• Automate: Help build and maintain scripts or basic CI/CD workflows to streamline daily development and testing processes.
  
  

Requirements

• Eligibility: Final-year student, recent graduate, or 0–1 year of experience.
• Core Foundation: Academic, bootcamp or project-based experience focused on the MERN stack.
• Backend Knowledge: Solid foundational understanding of Node.js and MongoDB, including basic schema design and routing.
• The Right Mindset: You bring high energy and relentless curiosity. You are not afraid to dive into unfamiliar code, ask hard questions and learn from mistakes.
• Problem Solver: A strong logical thinker with a bias for action and a desire to figure out how complex systems work under the hood.
• Bonus (Not Mandatory): Familiarity with using AI coding assistants (like GitHub Copilot, Cursor or ChatGPT) to accelerate personal development workflows, or a general interest in modern AI technologies.
  
  

Why Join Us

• Work with the Best: Gain direct mentorship and exposure to industry leaders who are deeply invested in your growth and engineering excellence.
• High-Growth Trajectory: Work on real, impactful projects that shape our product's architecture, rather than doing busywork.
