Frontend Engineering Intern — React / Next.js (2027-2028)

Important: This is a hands-on, high-ownership internship with a ₹5,000/month stipend for students who want to work on real production software and grow through direct feedback, responsibility and practical engineering experience.

Expected commitment: Approximately 20–30 hours per week for a minimum of 4 months.

About Auto Wisdom

Auto Wisdom is building automotive intelligence and digital products that help people make better decisions around cars, ownership and automotive services.

We are currently founder-led, which means you will work directly with the founder and get exposure to engineering, product decisions and the realities of building a startup from the ground up.

You will work on real product flows used by real users — not isolated practice projects.

Why Join Us

At Auto Wisdom, you will:

Ship production features using React 19, Next.js 16, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS

Work directly with the founder on engineering and product decisions

Receive frequent technical and product feedback

Own features from understanding the requirement through implementation, review and QA

Learn how frontend, backend, product and release decisions connect

Gain practical experience maintaining and improving a real production codebase

What You'll Do

Build and ship production features using React, Next.js and TypeScript

Own complete user flows rather than only isolated UI components

Understand API contracts, backend dependencies and application state

Handle loading, error, empty, authenticated and edge-case states thoughtfully

Build responsive, accessible and performant interfaces

Integrate REST APIs and debug frontend-backend issues

Reuse existing architecture and components before introducing new patterns

Test your changes for regressions before requesting review

Review your own code and diff before handing work over

Document important technical decisions where required

How We Work

We care about how you approach a problem, not only whether the final screen works.

You will be expected to:

Understand the requirement and existing product flow before starting implementation

Break non-trivial work into a clear implementation plan before coding

Investigate problems independently, but ask focused questions when you remain blocked

Avoid staying silently confused for long periods

Estimate tasks realistically and improve your estimates over time

Respect agreed deadlines and communicate blockers or delays before the deadline

Provide a clear revised ETA if a committed timeline needs to change

Test your own work thoroughly before requesting review

Treat code review as part of engineering, not as the first testing stage

Take tasks through implementation, review, QA and final closure

AI-Assisted Development

We actively use modern AI development tools.

AI is welcome as an accelerator, not as a substitute for engineering understanding.

You must be able to:

Explain the code and technical decisions you submit

Independently validate AI-generated suggestions

Identify when an AI-generated solution does not fit the existing architecture

Test and take responsibility for all AI-assisted code you submit

You should never submit code you cannot independently explain.

What We Expect

Strong fundamentals in JavaScript, TypeScript, React and Next.js

Good understanding of HTML, CSS and responsive design

Understanding of REST APIs and frontend-backend integration

Ability to read and understand an existing codebase before modifying it

Structured problem-solving rather than trial-and-error implementation

Ability to explain your technical approach and decisions

Good debugging, testing and self-review habits

Willingness to ask focused questions when genuinely blocked

Realistic task estimation and respect for agreed deadlines

Proactive communication when blockers or timelines change

Openness to direct code-review feedback and the ability to apply it consistently

Bonus Points

Experience with SSR/SSG and modern React patterns

Experience with Redux, Zustand or another state-management library

Experience with automated frontend testing

Deployed projects or previous internships

Open-source contributions

Experience with Vercel or similar cloud platforms

Interest in cars, automotive technology or mobility

Eligibility

Students pursuing B.Tech, B.E. or a related technical degree

Preferably graduating in 2027 or 2028

Minimum 4-month availability

Able to commit approximately 20–30 hours per week

Candidates from all colleges are welcome — practical engineering ability matters more than college brand

Stipend

₹5,000 per month

What You'll Gain

Direct exposure to founder-led product and engineering decisions

Ownership of live production features

Frequent technical and product feedback

Experience with real code-review, QA and release processes

Practical experience working in an existing production codebase

₹5,000/month stipend

Letter of recommendation based on performance

Priority consideration for future internships or full-time opportunities based on performance and business needs
