We are looking for a curious, fast-learning Full Stack Developer Intern who is excited to build software in an AI-native way. You will develop real-world web applications with React.js on the frontend and Node.js on the backend — but the way you build matters as much as what you build. You’ll pair with AI coding assistants such as Claude / Claude Code and GitHub Copilot / OpenAI Codex as everyday tools to build and ship real-world features faster.

This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to move beyond “just coding” and understand how modern teams prototype an MVP in days, embed AI into the SDLC, and ship production-grade features faster and with more confidence.

What Makes This Role Different

• AI-first workflow: you’ll use AI assistants for scaffolding, refactoring, test generation, code review, and documentation — while learning when to trust them and when not to.
• MVP mindset: rapidly turn ideas into working prototypes, validate them, and iterate — using AI to compress the build cycle.
• Real ownership: your work ships to production-grade applications, not throwaway sandboxes.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop responsive, interactive user interfaces using React.js (Hooks, component patterns, state management).
• Build and maintain RESTful APIs using Node.js and Express.js, and integrate frontend with backend services.
• Work with databases such as MongoDB or MySQL, including basic schema and query design.
• Use AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Codex/Copilot, Cursor) to scaffold features, write and refactor code, generate tests, and speed up debugging — reviewing every suggestion critically.
• Rapidly build MVPs and prototypes, then iterate based on feedback and metrics.
• Write clean, maintainable, well-documented code; participate in code reviews and team discussions.

Required Skills

• Good understanding of JavaScript (ES6+).
• Basic knowledge of React.js (components, props, state, Hooks).
• Basic understanding of Node.js and Express.js.
• Familiarity with responsive web design.
• Understanding of REST APIs and JSON.
• Basic knowledge of Git and GitHub.
• Familiarity with databases like MongoDB or MySQL.
• Hands-on exposure to at least one AI coding assistant — Claude / Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, or similar — and genuine curiosity about using them well.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills; good communication and a strong willingness to learn.
• Preferred / Bonus Skills
• Fluency with AI coding assistants — using Claude Code, Copilot, Codex, or Cursor to work faster on real projects.
• Knowledge of TypeScript; state tools like Redux, Context API, or React Hooks.
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Understanding of authentication using JWT or OAuth; API testing with Postman.
• Eligibility
• Open to recent graduates and self-taught developers.
• Candidates who have completed relevant projects, internships, or certifications — especially any that used AI tools — are strongly encouraged to apply.
• A GitHub profile, portfolio, or a short demo of something you built (bonus points if AI was part of it).

• Initial Screening — What to Submit

  Instead of a traditional résumé screen, we ask every applicant to show us something you built. Two things are required:

• A working prototype — a small but functional app or feature (web app, tool, or MVP). It doesn’t need to be polished or large; it needs to actually run. Share a liv…
