- Testing your implementation
- Debugging issues
- Collaborating with team members
A large part of your time goes into learning by doing inside real systems.
Working With Microservices & Distributed Systems
This role exposes you to modern backend architecture:
- Microservices (independent services communicating via APIs)
- Distributed systems (systems running across multiple machines)
You will understand:
- Service communication
- Data flow between components
- System reliability and scalability
This is valuable because most modern tech companies use similar architectures.
Technologies You’ll Work With
- C++ and Go for backend development
- Linux / Unix environments
- APIs (REST / gRPC)
- Version control systems (Git)
You may also gain exposure to:
- Containers (Docker)
- CI/CD pipelines
Technical Skills Expected
- Basic knowledge of C++ or Go
- Understanding of data structures and algorithms
- Knowledge of object-oriented programming
- Familiarity with Linux environments
- Logical problem-solving ability
Additionally, understanding of AI/GenAI concepts in systems is considered useful.
Learning Curve in This Internship
This role is designed to give:
- Hands-on coding experience
- Exposure to real engineering systems
- Understanding of production workflows
You will not be expected to know everything from day one, but you should be able to:
