Software Engineer Intern
Aru Labs is looking for a Software Engineer Intern to help us build and ship new internet products.
You’ll work closely with a small team across frontend, backend, APIs, AI integrations, and product development. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to learn by building real products, not just completing assigned tasks.
You’ll have the opportunity to take ideas from prototype → product → launch.
What you’ll do
Build and improve web applications across frontend and backend
Develop user interfaces using React
Build APIs and backend services using Node.js and Express
Work with MongoDB and other databases
Integrate third-party APIs and AI/LLM services
Debug, test, and improve existing products
Deploy applications and help maintain production systems
Work with product and design to turn ideas into working experiences
Prototype new ideas and iterate quickly based on feedback
Learn how real products are built and shipped
What we’re looking for
Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
Good understanding of JavaScript or TypeScript
Familiarity with React and Node.js
Basic understanding of APIs, databases, and web development
Experience building personal projects, college projects, or side projects
Comfortable learning new technologies independently
Strong problem-solving skills
Someone who enjoys building things from scratch
You do not need to know everything. We care more about your ability to learn, build, and take ownership.
Nice to have
Experience with MongoDB
Experience with Next.js
Experience with AI/LLM APIs
Familiarity with Git and GitHub
Experience deploying applications
Open-source contributions
Personal projects or products you've built

Fully remote
Real product-building experience
High ownership from day one
Work directly with a small, fast-moving team
Opportunity to work across product, engineering, and AI
Freedom to experiment and try new ideas
Mentorship and exposure to the full product development cycle
Potential opportunity to continue with Aru Labs based on performance
