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.
Requirements & Tech Stack
- 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.
Qualifications
- Pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, Engineering, or a related field.
- Strong self-taught developers are equally welcome.
