[Hiring] Software Engineer Intern @Aru Labs

Role Description

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.

• 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

Qualifications

• 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.

Requirements

• 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

Benefits

• 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
