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 efficient 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

• Assist in developing and maintaining backend services, APIs, and server-side logic.
• Design and integrate RESTful APIs with frontend and third-party services.
• Work with databases to store, retrieve, and optimize data efficiently.
• Implement authentication, authorization, and basic security practices.
• Debug, test, and optimize backend performance.
• 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

• Strong understanding of backend fundamentals and server-side programming.
• 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.
