Java Spring Boot Backend Engineer Internship

Location: Ahmedabad (On-site & Remote)

Schedule: Monday–Friday, full-time

Program Timeline & Stipend

• Months 1-3 (Foundation): Unpaid.
• Months 4-6 (Contribution): ₹5,000/month.
• Post-Internship: Performance review with the goal of converting at least 70% of interns to a paid junior-engineer role.

What You Will Work On

• Design, build, and test RESTful APIs using Spring Boot, Spring MVC, and Spring REST.
• Contribute to a microservices architecture—service discovery, fault tolerance, and observability.
• Participate in the complete SDLC: requirement analysis, coding, unit testing, peer reviews, and cloud deployment.
• Write clean, maintainable code that applies OOP principles and patterns such as DAO, DTO, and MVC.
• Handle JSON/XML data; implement XSL, XSLT, and XPath transformations; parse via SAX, DOM, and JAXB.
• Help automate build, test, and deployment pipelines (CI/CD) and container orchestration setups.
• Collaborate in agile ceremonies (daily stand-ups, sprint reviews) and document technical decisions.
• Showcase continual self-learning through mini-projects, LeetCode/GFG challenges, and peer knowledge-shares.

What You Should Already Know

• Solid Java 8+ fundamentals: collections, concurrency, JVM basics.
• Ability to solve algorithm problems at medium-easy to hard-easy level on LeetCode or GeeksforGeeks.
• Working SQL knowledge: self-joins, inner/left joins, grouping, indexing.
• Familiarity with cloud deployment concepts (AWS/GCP/Azure/Hetzner) and containerization.
• Basic understanding of infrastructure-as-code, logging, and monitoring.

What You’ll Learn Here

• Deep dive into the Spring ecosystem: Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, and security modules.
• Microservice patterns—circuit breakers, distributed tracing, and centralized configuration.
• End-to-end DevOps workflow with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI tools such as GitHub Actions or Jenkins.
• Production-grade observability: metrics, structured logging, alerts.
• Best practices for code reviews, documentation, and collaborative software delivery.

Nice-to-Have Extras

• Front-end basics (React or Angular) for simple internal dashboards.
• Hands-on exposure to AWS services like EC2, S3, RDS, or Lambda.
• Comfortable with Git branching strategies and pull-request workflows.

Perks Beyond the Stipend

• Dedicated senior-engineer mentor and weekly office hours.
• Oracle or JetBrains Java certification voucher for interns who meet eligibility criteria during the performance review.
• Spotlight blog post featuring your capstone project on the company’s LinkedIn page.
• Flexible hours during university exam weeks.
• Letter of recommendation signed by our senior engineering lead upon successful completion.

Eligibility

• Final-year students or recent graduates in Computer Science, IT, or related fields.
• Able to commit on-site in Ahmedabad for at least six months.
• Demonstrated passion for backend engineering and self-driven learning.
