Python Developer Intern

Python Developer Intern - Financial AI ProductCompany

Summary

We are a Fintech startup leveraging Java, Python, AI and Machine Learning to provide personalized financial insights and intelligent investment tools. You will be a crucial part of the backend team, helping to build and maintain the core APIs that power our user-facing applications and reliably serve predictions from our AI models.

The Role: Python API Developer Intern

This is a hands-on internship offering direct mentorship from senior backend and data engineers within a Product, Operations, and Development (POD) team. You will focus on building efficient, scalable, and secure API endpoints to manage financial data and deliver AI-generated analysis.

Our Team Structure: The POD Model

You will join a specific, cross-functional POD focused on a high-impact area (e.g., "Real-Time Data Feeds" or "AI Model Serving"). You will collaborate daily with Product Managers, Data Scientists, and Frontend Developers to own the entire feature delivery lifecycle.

Primary Responsibilities

• API Development: Assist in designing, developing, and documenting scalable API endpoints using Python and modern frameworks like FastAPI or Flask.
• Data Integration: Write and optimize database queries (SQL/NoSQL) to efficiently retrieve and store financial data, user profiles, and AI results.
• AI Model Integration: Build API endpoints designed to securely receive requests, pass data to deployed Machine Learning models (e.g., hosted on Vertex AI or a similar platform), and format the model's predictions for consumption by the mobile/web frontend.
• Security & Performance: Focus on writing clean, well-tested code, contributing to API throttling, authentication standards, and performance optimization (latency reduction).
• Documentation: Create and maintain API documentation (using tools like Swagger/OpenAPI) to ensure clear communication with frontend developers and external partners.
• Testing: Write and execute unit and integration tests to ensure the reliability and integrity of the API logic.
• Cloud Deployment: Assist the DevOps team in preparing the Python application for containerization (Docker) and deployment on a cloud platform like Google Cloud Run, cloud functions or GKE.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Education: Currently pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Technical Proficiency:
• Python: Strong foundational knowledge of Python and object-oriented programming principles.
• Web Frameworks: Basic hands-on experience with a Python web framework (e.g., FastAPI, Flask, or Django).
• Databases: Familiarity with relational databases and writing efficient SQL queries (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL).
• API Concepts: Understanding of fundamental RESTful API principles (GET, POST, status codes, JSON).
• Version Control: Proficiency with Git and standard development workflows.
• Financial & AI Interest: A genuine interest in the Fintech space, financial concepts, and a curiosity about how data science and ML models are integrated into production environments.

Preferred (Bonus) Skills

• Prior exposure to a cloud platform (GCP), particularly basic services like Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage, or Vertex AI.
• Experience with Docker for containerization.
• Experience with asynchronous programming in Python (e.g., asyncio, used in FastAPI)

What We Offer

• Mentorship: Direct, structured mentorship from senior backend and data engineers within your POD.
• Technology Stack: Exposure to a modern, high-performance tech stack: Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and cutting-edge Google Cloud AI services.
• Real Impact: Work on mission-critical features that directly connect AI insights to user applications.
• Flexibility: Flexible work arrangements
