6-Month Unpaid Internship — Forward-Deployed Engineering Intern

Role Overview

Mindpex is an AI-powered B2B SaaS product being taken from MVP into real customer implementations and production. We are looking for a Forward-Deployed Engineering Intern who wants hands-on experience taking a real software product into production, integrating it with customer systems, solving real customer problems, and rapidly improving the product based on what happens in the field. This is not a conventional internship; you will work directly on the product, infrastructure, integrations, deployment, and customer implementation.

Responsibilities

• Cloud & Production Deployment: Deploy Mindpex on Google Cloud / GCP, including Cloud Run; work with Docker and production environments; configure environments, secrets, authentication, and services; monitor deployments and troubleshoot production issues.
• Customer Integrations: Understand customer HRMS, SaaS tools, and APIs; identify integration points; work with connectors such as Nango or Kombo; build custom integrations and troubleshoot failures.
• Data & Schema Mapping: Perform schema mapping, data transformation, normalization, and validation to ensure customer data enters Mindpex in the correct structure.
• Rapid Product Iteration: Investigate customer feedback and implement changes ranging from small fixes to significant changes in the backend, integration, or data flow.
• Customer Support & Technical Implementation: Work closely with customers to understand, reproduce, trace, identify root causes, fix, test, and deploy solutions for reported issues.

Requirements

• Strong hands-on knowledge of Node.js and Python.
• Strong practical understanding of REST APIs, API integrations, webhooks, and authentication.
• Hands-on experience with open-source/API connector platforms such as Nango or equivalent frameworks.
• Strong understanding of data mapping, schema transformation, normalization, and validation.
• Hands-on experience with Google Cloud / GCP, preferably using Cloud Run.
• Strong understanding of Docker and production cloud deployment.
• Ability to understand unfamiliar codebases and trace data across external systems, connectors, APIs, backend, and databases.
• Full-time commitment and ability to work independently with customers.
