Let’s skip the part where we pretend this is a normal internship.

Awesomeree AI is Malaysia’s leading AI startup and e-commerce powerhouse. Our backend runs operations at a speed that makes other companies’ engineering teams ask “wait, how?” — and the honest answer is we use AI tools most CTOs won’t touch for another 3-5 years.

We’re hiring Backend Developer Interns who want to ship real code from Day 1 — not watch someone else’s PR review for six months while “absorbing the codebase.”

Unlike traditional internships where you rotate between “shadow the DevOps guy” and “help with documentation” until everyone forgets your name — you’ll own real services and go deep. No babysitting tasks. No fake projects. Real endpoints, real users, real consequences when you break prod.

You don’t need to be a competitive programmer. You don’t need a CS degree. You don’t need to have memorised LeetCode or pretend you’ve read “Designing Data-Intensive Applications” cover-to-cover.

If you can write a function, read a stack trace without crying, and Google your way out of a problem — you can do this. We will teach you the rest.

Self-taught devs, bootcamp grads, CS students, the IT student who built a Discord bot that accidentally got 800 users, the diploma kid who reverse-engineered their school’s timetable system — all welcome.

What You’ll Actually Do

– Work directly with the founder and engineering lead on real product — not a side-project sandbox built to keep interns busy
– Ship features into production that real shops, real customers, and real money flow through
– Use the world’s best AI coding tools (Codex and Claude) to move 5-10x faster than dev interns at any other company — this is not optional, this is the workflow
– Build APIs, write database queries that don’t fall over at scale, debug things at 2am that broke at 1:55am (kidding… mostly)
– Own a service end-to-end — design it, build it, deploy it, monitor it, fix it. The whole loop
– Grow into a role where “intern” stops being an accurate description by month 3

You’re Probably Right For This If:

– (REALLY IMPORTANT) You have a track record of building things nobody asked you to build — a script that automates your homework, a bot that scrapes anime release dates, a side project with a domain name you actually paid for.
– You’re the friend who fixed everyone’s Wi-Fi at the mamak — not the one who said “have you tried turning it off and on again”
– You have an allergic reaction to “it works on my machine” — you test, deploy, monitor
– You pick up new frameworks, languages, and tools like they’re Pokémon
– You’d rather ship an ugly v1 today than argue about architecture for two weeks

Any degree, any background, any year of study. We care about how fast you learn and how much you ship, not your CGPA.

This Role Is NOT For You If:

– You want a structured 6-month rotation through “frontend, backend, QA, DevOps”
– You think internships should be 70% learning and 30% doing
– You need a Jira ticket with acceptance criteria spelled out in 14 bullet points before you’ll start
– You think AI coding tools are “cheating”

What You Get

– Hands-on training on AI coding tools that cost more per month than most interns’ allowances — free, and the workflow is yours for life
– A backend skill set that puts you 2-3 years ahead of fresh grads with the same degree
– Direct mentorship from people who actually ship — not a senior who only reviews PRs and books meetings
– Real production access from Week 2 — no “intern sandbox” nonsense
– A conversion offer if you’re good
