About Us:
At BookMyHelp, we’re changing the game by connecting people with local professionals who can make life easier. Whether it’s home services, business support, or a helping hand, we’re building a platform that streamlines it all. And we need YOU to help power the tech that makes it happen! If you’re ready to dive into the world of backend development, work on meaningful projects, and solve real-world problems, this is the perfect place to grow your skills.
Position Overview:
This isn’t your typical internship. As a Backend Developer Intern at BookMyHelp, you’ll be part of a dynamic, fast-moving team building the infrastructure that makes our platform run smoothly. This is an unpaid co-op internship, but what you’ll gain in hands-on experience, mentorship, and future opportunities is invaluable. You'll be working on the server-side guts of our platform—handling databases, building APIs, and implementing real-time communication. Think of it as your chance to shape the foundation of a platform used by thousands.
What You’ll Do:
- Build and Innovate: Use Java/Spring Boot to develop backend systems that drive the entire platform.
- Create and Refine APIs: Design and maintain efficient REST APIs to power our mobile and web applications.
- Master Databases: Work with PostgreSQL to manage data and create scalable, secure solutions.
- Real-Time Awesomeness: Implement Socket programming to enable real-time communication and features.
- Problem-Solve: Tackle tough backend challenges—debug, troubleshoot, and make our systems faster and more reliable.
- Collaborate and Learn: Join a tight-knit team, participate in code reviews, and bounce ideas off of experienced engineers.
- Shape the Future: Have a real say in how we architect the platform as we scale to the next level.
Who We’re Looking For:
- A tech enthusiast currently studying or recently graduated in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a similar field.
- Past experience in Postgresql and APIs is preferred
- Someone with Java/Spring Boot knowledge who’s excited about writing clean, efficient backend code.
- Basic experience with PostgreSQL or relational databases and a passion for learning more.
- Familiarity with RESTful APIs and the ability to work with them.
- A problem solver who loves troubleshooting backend issues and coming up with creative solutions.
- Understanding of Socket programming and real-time communication (or the curiosity to dive in and learn!).
- Team-oriented with a passion for learning in an Agile environment.
Bonus Points If You:
- Know your way around WebSockets and have played with real-time apps.
- Have explored cloud platforms like AWS or Azure.
- Understand microservices architecture or are eager to learn.
- Know how to write unit tests (like JUnit) to ensure code reliability.
Why You’ll Love Working with Us:
- Real-World Projects: Work on backend systems that power a live platform—what you build matters.
- Level Up: Get mentorship from seasoned developers who’ll help you refine your skills.
- Build Your Portfolio: Your work here will be something you can showcase to future employers.
- Future Opportunities: Do a great job here, and you could land a paid role or full-time offer down the road.
- Creative Freedom: We value fresh ideas—bring your creativity, and we’ll listen.
Important: This is an unpaid co-op internship focused on gaining experience and building your skills.
