Intern Backend & Systems

Internship | Remote | 2 months | No Stipend

Role:

Architecting the Engine and Infrastructure.

The Mission We are moving fast, replacing boilerplate solutions with a custom, high-performance architecture. You will help build a custom product catalog to replace Shopify and manage complex multi-merchant payout systems.

The Stack:

Logic: Next.js 16 API Routes & Drizzle ORM (Type-safe SQL).

Database: Supabase (PostgreSQL).

Payments: Stripe Connect (Multi-merchant payouts & splits).

Infrastructure: Docker (Node 20 Alpine), GHCR, and GitHub Actions CI/CD.

What You'll Do:

• Design and migrate Postgres schemas using Drizzle ORM to handle thousands of products and transactions.
• Build the backend logic for Stripe Connect, ensuring sellers get paid accurately and on time.
• Manage the Dockerized deployment flow to our VPS via GitHub Actions.
• Optimize SQL queries to ensure the content feed stays lightning-fast even as the DB grows.

Requirements:

• Solid understanding of PostgreSQL and Relational Database Design.
• Experience with Node.js and TypeScript.
• Curiosity about DevOps (Docker, SSH, CI/CD pipelines).
• Bonus: You've integrated Stripe or another payment gateway in a personal project.
