Backend Engineering (Node.js & Go) - Internship

About the internship:We're looking for a high-potential Backend Engineering Intern who loves solving problems, learning quickly, and building real production systems. The intern will work closely with the engineering team on backend services, APIs, distributed systems, and real-world engineering problems. This is a hands-on role, requiring the intern to learn fast, take ownership, and contribute to production systems.

Selected intern's day-to-day responsibilities include:

1. Work with Node.js/TypeScript and Go (Golang) to build backend services.

2. Develop and maintain APIs and backend services.

3. Work with databases, caching, and asynchronous processing.

4. Contribute to distributed systems and system design.

5. Debug issues and work on performance and reliability improvements.

6. Use AI-assisted engineering tools such as Claude, Codex, and others to support development work.
