What This Is

We're not hiring someone to sit through onboarding decks and shadow meetings. We're looking for someone who actually builds things. If you've spent weekends shipping a side project nobody asked you to build, or your GitHub has commits that exist just because you were curious, you're probably the kind of person we want. The title says intern, but the work is real. You'll touch actual code, work on live products, and have a genuine say in what we build next.

We work in Next.js end to end. That's what you'll live in for six months.

What You'll Actually Do

• Build and ship features, App Router, SSR/SSG, API routes, the works
• Write UI components that are clean and hold up on mobile
• Wire up APIs and third-party services
• Sit in on product conversations and push back when something doesn't make sense
• Write code you'd be comfortable showing someone else

What We're Looking For

The GitHub or portfolio matters more to us than your grades or your GPA. Show us something you built — it doesn't have to be fancy, we just want to see that you actually make things.

Beyond that: solid React and Next.js knowledge (not just tutorials), comfort with Tailwind and TypeScript, and a working understanding of how APIs function. Git is a given.

Open to freshers from the 2025 or 2026 batch only — this role is built for people just starting out.

Nice to have

Vercel deployments, any database exposure (Supabase, PostgreSQL, etc.), Figma basics. Not required, just a bonus.

What You Get Out Of It

Real product work, not busy work. You'll get direct mentorship, fast feedback loops, and actual ownership over what you ship. Strong performers get a shot at a full-time role. Certificate of completion included.

Note

This is a paid internship.
