Web Developer Internship (Unpaid)(Remote)

About BasketHunt

BasketHunt Pvt. Ltd. began in April 2020 as an e-commerce platform delivering essential products to consumers. Since then, the company has expanded its focus to AI, robotics, cloud computing, web services, and technology development.

Through BasketHunt School of Interns , we aim to help aspiring developers build practical technical skills by working on real-world projects, exploring new engineering concepts, and learning how modern technology systems are designed and developed.

About the Internship

This is not a conventional web development internship focused only on building websites or installing existing plugins. It is a hands-on learning journey for individuals who want to understand how technology works at a deeper level.

As a Web Developer Intern, you will contribute to the development of web applications, internal platforms, software systems, and experimental technology solutions primarily using PHP, SQL, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS .

You will explore system architecture, application functionality, security-oriented programming, networking fundamentals, and advanced problem-solving. You will also participate in analysing existing limitations, designing new approaches, and experimenting with functionality that may not have readily available implementations.

Our goal is to help you develop the mindset of an engineer who can analyse a problem, design a solution, build it, test it, and continuously improve it.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Web Application Development: Design, develop, and maintain websites, web applications, internal tools, and software systems using PHP and related technologies.
• Technology Development & Innovation: Research, conceptualise, prototype, and experiment with new functionalities, technical approaches, and system capabilities, including ideas that may not have existing off-the-shelf solutions.
• System Design & Architecture: Understand application architecture, database structures, software components, integrations, and the relationships between different parts of a technology system.
• PHP & Backend Engineering: Write structured, reusable, maintainable, and efficient PHP code, applying object-oriented programming principles and appropriate software design practices.
• Frontend Development: Build responsive interfaces using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and translate design concepts or Figma prototypes into functional web interfaces.
• Database Engineering: Work with SQL databases, data modelling, queries, relationships, and database optimisation.
• Security-Oriented Programming: Learn and implement secure coding practices, authentication, authorisation, input validation, session management, access controls, and protection against common web application vulnerabilities.
• Networking Fundamentals: Develop an understanding of HTTP/HTTPS, DNS, APIs, client-server communication, ports, request-response cycles, and how web applications communicate across networks.
• Research & Deep Analysis: Investigate technical challenges, compare possible solutions, evaluate functionality, identify limitations, and recommend improvements based on technical feasibility, performance, security, and usability.
• Testing & Debugging: Identify bugs, analyse root causes, test functionality, improve reliability, and document technical findings.
• Deployment & Maintenance: Learn how applications are configured, deployed, monitored, maintained, and improved in suitable development and production environments.
• Cross-Team Collaboration: Work with other team members to understand requirements, solve technical problems, develop prototypes, and deliver practical solutions.

What You Will Learn

During this internship, you will have opportunities to develop skills in:

• Advanced PHP programming and object-oriented programming.
• Building applications and software systems from the ground up.
• System design, application architecture, and database engineering.
• Research-driven development and experimental feature creation.
• Web application security and secure coding practices.
• Networking concepts and web infrastructure fundamentals.
• API development, integrations, and client-server communication.
• Software testing, debugging, optimisation, and deployment.
• Technical documentation, independent research, and collaborative engineering.
