About the Role

We are looking for a curious and driven Associate Software Developer Intern (AI and Cloud) to join our engineering team. This is a hands-on opportunity to work alongside experienced developers on real-world web applications spanning the .NET and Java ecosystems, with exposure to cloud platforms, identity and access management (IAM), and secure backend development.

You will participate in the full development lifecycle — from understanding business requirements to building, testing, and deploying features.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in designing and developing web applications using .NET ( MVC, Web API, C#) and/or Java (Spring Boot) under the guidance of senior developers.
• Contribute to front-end development using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and modern frameworks (React/Angular is a plus).
• Support the team in building and consuming RESTful APIs and integrating third-party services.
• Learn and assist with cloud-based deployments on AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (e.g., app services, storage, serverless functions).
• Get hands-on exposure to Identity & Access Management (IAM) concepts such as OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML, JWT, role-based access control (RBAC), and single sign-on (SSO).
• Help configure and test user authentication, authorization flows, and access policies across applications.
• Participate in code reviews, write unit tests, and follow clean coding and version control (Git) best practices.
• Document features, APIs, and configurations clearly for internal and team use.
• Collaborate with business analysts to understand requirements and translate them into small, achievable technical tasks.
• Troubleshoot bugs and assist in resolving technical issues across the stack.

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• Foundational knowledge of at least one backend language: C# / .NET or Java.
• Understanding of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles and basic data structures.
• Familiarity with web fundamentals: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Basic understanding of relational databases (SQL Server, MySQL, or PostgreSQL) and writing simple queries.
• Awareness of version control using Git (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket).
• Good problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
• Eagerness to learn cloud and security concepts on the job.

Nice to Have (Preferred, Not Mandatory)

• Exposure to cloud platforms - AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (even through coursework, labs, or certifications such as AWS Cloud Practitioner or AZ-900).
• Conceptual understanding of IAM and access management — OAuth, OIDC, SSO, MFA, RBAC, or experience with tools like Azure AD, AWS IAM, Okta, or Keycloak.
• Experience building small projects with REST APIs or microservices.
• Familiarity with front-end frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue).
• Exposure to ETL/data integration concepts or tools.
• Awareness of containerization (Docker) and CI/CD basics.
• Any prior internship, hackathon, open-source, or college project work showcasing full-stack skills.

What You Will Learn

• Building production-grade applications in .NET and/or Java in a real team environment.
• How modern cloud platforms host, secure, and scale web applications.
• Designing and implementing secure authentication and authorization flows.
• Working with Agile / Scrum practices, Git workflows, and code reviews.
• Translating business problems into clean, maintainable code.

Soft Skills We Value

• Curiosity and a self-starter attitude - willingness to learn beyond what''''s assigned.
• Strong communication and the ability to ask the right questions.
• Ownership and accountability for tasks, however small.
• Comfort working both independently and collaboratively in a team.
