Back End Developer Intern

About the Role

As a Back-End Developer Intern, you will play a hands-on role in building and maintaining the server-side features that power the Guruji Astro platform. You will gain practical experience designing scalable architecture, ensuring system reliability, and driving performance. This position starts as a Work From Home (WFH) internship and is designed as a direct pipeline for full-time engineering talent. High-performing interns will be awarded a Pre-Placement Offer (PPO), at which point the role will transition to a Work From Office (WFO) setup.

• Internship Stipend: ₹5,000 per month.
• Work Setup: Remote (Work From Home) for the duration of the internship.
• Pre-Placement Offer (PPO): Exceptional interns will receive a full-time job offer at the end of the internship, which will require transitioning to a Work From Office (WFO) environment.

• Database & API Knowledge: Familiarity working with SQL/NoSQL databases and designing/consuming RESTful APIs.
• Full-Stack Awareness: A working understanding of Front-End development principles to collaborate smoothly with UI/UX teams.
• Modern Workflows: Comfort using version control systems (like Git) and participating in collaborative development environments.
• Problem Solver: High attention to detail with the ability to troubleshoot complex issues logically.
• Growth Mindset: A strong willingness to learn, adapt, and execute quickly in a dynamic startup environment.
