About the Role

We are looking for a technically strong and problem-solving-oriented Backend Developer Intern to support the development of scalable, secure, and effective backend systems. You will work on real production logic, APIs, databases, and integrations that power business-critical applications.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building systems behind the scenes, understands how data flows, and wants hands-on exposure to real backend architecture rather than tutorial-level work.

Key Responsibilities

- Collaborate with frontend, AI, and product teams to support feature development.
- Maintain proper documentation for APIs, workflows, and system logic.
- Participate in code reviews and follow best backend development practices.

Required Skills

- Hands-on experience with Node.js / Python / PHP (any one).
- Basic knowledge of REST APIs and HTTP methods.
- Familiarity with databases (SQL or NoSQL).
- Understanding of authentication, data validation, and error handling.
- Experience with Git/GitHub version control.
- Logical thinking and problem-solving mindset.

Preferred Skills

- Experience with frameworks like Express, Django, Flask, or Spring Boot.
- Familiarity with cloud platforms or deployment basics.
- Understanding of system design concepts.
- Exposure to API security, caching, or performance optimization.
- Interest in automation, scalable systems, or AI integrations.

Educational Qualifications

- Pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, Engineering, or a related field. Strong self-taught developers are equally welco me.

What you will gain?

- Real-world experience building backend systems used in live products.
- Exposure to scalable architectures and real development workflows.
- Collaboration with frontend, AI, and product teams.
- Practical learning in APIs, databases, and backend security.
- Certificate of completion and potential long-term collaboration based on performance.
