Backend Mobile App Developer Intern

About SwipeFit : SwipeFit is an innovative new platform in the Fashion Tech space. We are currently in the development phase of our Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and are seeking a talented and motivated Backend Developer Intern to join our small, agile team. This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience building a product from the ground up, with a direct impact on our core technology stack and product roadmap. We are a fast-paced, mission-driven startup, and we are looking for someone who is eager to learn, contribute, and grow with us.

The Role : As a Backend Developer Intern, you will work closely with other engineers to build and maintain the server-side logic and core infrastructure of the SwipeFit application. This is not a 'coffee-fetching' internship; we're looking for someone with some prior experience who can take ownership of specific features and contribute to our development cycles. You will be responsible for writing clean, efficient, and well-tested code that will power our MVP.

Key Responsibilities :

• API Development : Design, develop, and maintain RESTful APIs to facilitate communication between our frontend (mobile app) and the backend services.
• Database Management : Assist in the design and implementation of database schemas, write efficient queries, and ensure data integrity.
• Core Logic : Write server-side business logic for key features of the SwipeFit app, such as user authentication, matching algorithms, user profiles, and messaging.
• Testing and Quality : Write unit and integration tests to ensure the reliability and stability of the backend services.
• Collaboration : Participate in code reviews, contribute to architectural discussions, and work collaboratively with the team to troubleshoot issues and optimize performance.
• Documentation : Create and maintain technical documentation for the APIs and core services.
