Beginner Friendly MERN Web Development Intern
Posted 2h ago0 views
Who we wrote this for
You have finished a tutorial or two, you can build a todo app, and now you need the thing no course provides: a codebase full of other people's decisions. This two month remote placement is deliberately entry level and we will not pretend otherwise.
The two months, roughly
Week one is setup and reading. You get the MailerMen repo running locally, trace one request from a React button click through Express to MongoDB and back, and write up what you found. From week two you pick up starter tickets: a filter chip on the job search page, a validation message that never appeared, a Mongoose field missing a default. By the second month you should be taking a small feature such as the recently viewed jobs list from ticket to merge.
What is on offer and what is not
This placement is unpaid. What you do get is a mentor who answers questions, a review on your first pull request within a working day, and honest feedback about whether a developer career actually suits you. Several engineers on our team started in exactly this seat.
Responsibilities
- Set up the MERN codebase locally and correct anything the README gets wrong
- Trace a request from React through Express to MongoDB and explain it back to your mentor
- Pick up starter tickets such as filter chips, validation messages and schema defaults
- Ship a small feature like the recently viewed jobs list from ticket to merge
- Ask questions in the open channel instead of getting stuck privately
- Write a short weekly note on what you learned and what blocked you
Requirements
- Student in any year or a recent graduate, absolutely no experience required
- You have built at least one small JavaScript project, however rough it looks
- Familiar with basic Git commands: clone, branch, commit and push
- Available for at least twenty five hours a week across the two months
- Comfortable being a beginner in public
