Backend Developer Intern (PHP / Laravel / Node.js) – Xavirgin.com | 3-Month Remote Internship

Role Overview

At Xavirgin.com, we aren’t interested in surface-level scripting. We deal in raw architectural reality. We’re engineering high-throughput, foundational backends that power production-grade software ecosystems—built on clean execution and operational efficiency. We are looking for a sharp, ambitious Backend Developer Intern for a 3-month, fully remote, unpaid internship.

Responsibilities

• Master Indie Engineering Operations: Experience firsthand how a modern indie software company operates—from rapid feature deployment and Git workflows to lean server architectures.
• Integrate Multi-Service Ecosystems: Bridge business logic, authentication layers, and external service pipelines seamlessly.

Requirements

• Deep, practical knowledge of at least one core backend environment: PHP (Laravel) or Node.js.
• Hands-on experience with real-world projects (academic, freelance, or personal builds that actually work).
• A self-driven problem solver who understands system logic, data integrity, and clean architectural design over generic shortcuts.
