Vahan is a YC-backed AI-powered hiring marketplace connecting blue-collar workers with employment opportunities at scale. We're building technology that transforms how India's frontline workforce finds jobs.
We're looking for a Software Development Engineer Intern to join our engineering team for a 6-month internship. You'll work on real, production-facing features across our stack — building and shipping code that impacts how millions of workers access job opportunities.
What You'll Do
- Build and ship features across the frontend (React) and backend (Node.js, PostgreSQL)
- Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code and participate in code reviews
- Collaborate closely with senior engineers, product managers, and designers on feature design and implementation
- Debug and resolve issues in existing systems
- Contribute to technical discussions and bring fresh perspective to engineering decisions
What We're Looking For
- Strong fundamentals in React (component architecture, state management, hooks) and Node.js (REST APIs, async patterns)
- Working knowledge of PostgreSQL — schema design, queries, basic optimization
- Must have completed at least one prior internship in a software engineering role
- Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment with high ownership
- Strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams
- Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Computer Science or a related field
Good to Have
- Familiarity with Git and collaborative development workflows
- Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS/GCP) or CI/CD pipelines
- Prior experience building or contributing to a production application
What You'll Get
- Hands-on experience building production systems used at scale
- Direct mentorship from senior engineers
- High ownership from day one — you'll ship real features, not just tickets
- A front-row seat to how a fast-growing startup operates
