Junior Backend Intern (Express + Prisma)
What this role pays, in context
This listing does not state its pay. Node.js Developer roles in India currently advertise a median of ₹13.5K a month.
Median of 6 other live Node.js Developer listings in India on this board that state pay. Roles that do not disclose a salary are excluded rather than counted as zero.
Who this is for
If you have finished a Node.js course and have no idea what to do next, this is aimed squarely at you. The internship runs for two months, fully remote across India, and is built as a guided first step into a real repository rather than another tutorial project. You join the internal tools squad, which maintains the admin panel our support team lives in all day.
The work and the honest bit
Your tasks are small and real: a Prisma model for support tickets, Express routes to list and reassign them, a CSV export that streams instead of loading the whole table into memory, and Zod validation on every input you touch. Each task arrives as a written brief with a mentor attached and a review before it ships. There is no stipend on this one, and we would rather say so plainly than bury it three screens down. What you get is structured mentorship, a merged pull request history on production code, and a reference letter written by someone who actually watched you work. Two mentor calls a week, a shared backlog you pull from, and no assumption that you already understand deployment.

- Model support tickets in Prisma and generate the migration for them

Requirements
- Final year student or recent graduate stepping into their first real codebase
- Completed a Node.js course or equivalent self study; no job experience expected
- Able to run a project locally with npm, environment variables and a database
- Comfortable asking a question early rather than staying stuck for a day
