About this Role

We've got your back if you've got ours!

We take our internship program very seriously and hope to get our future team members from among our interns. You can take up as challenging a work as you are capable of. Our backend team is very strong and you will get to learn a lot, while you help us advance our backend infrastructure.

We are looking for interns of the 1st order. You should get a rush from creating things from scratch and take pleasure in watching users try to tear it apart through sheer volume and strange, unthinkable use cases. And when it breaks, you are to the Fam's rescue! Make everything smooth, secure and stronger than ever! If you inhale resilience and exhale code, apply now!
