Intern - Backend Engineering (Backend + DevOps)

About Us

At Entropik, we're redefining how the world understands people. Our flagship product, Decode - a unified human insights AI platform, helps global brands understand what their customers truly think and feel, not just what they say, using patented Emotion AI technologies: Facial Coding, Eye Tracking, and Voice AI. Faster decisions, richer insights, research free from human bias.

We're building the future of AI in market/consumer research, and we want engineers who want to build things that matter.

Why Entropik

Emotion AI is a space most engineers never get to touch, let alone at internship stage. You'll get hands-on exposure to backend engineering and DevOps from day one, mentored by senior engineers into owning real production systems.

About The Role

We're looking for a Backend Engineering Intern with excellent programming expertise in Python. You'll get to work on development, deployment, infrastructure and keep things running in production.

This is a paid, 6-month internship based in Chennai, with a path to full-time conversion based on performance. We're looking for candidates who've recently graduated or are in their final semester, and who can join us full-time in a Work-From-Office model immediately after the internship period.

• Learn and contribute to CI/CD pipelines
• Work with Docker, with exposure to orchestration (Kubernetes/ECS)
• Help set up monitoring, logging, and alerting for backend services
• Write unit tests and build TDD instincts
• Shadow deployments and incident response to see how production really runs

Requirements

• Recently completed a degree in CS, IT, or related field or pursuing last semester in college.
• Should be available for a 6-month internship and be ready to start full-time, immediately after the internship period (non negotiable)
• Strong knowledge of Python, Data Structures & Algorithms and basic REST API understanding
• Familiarity with SQL/relational databases (academic or project experience)
• Basic Git/version control knowledge
• Genuine interest in both backend and DevOps - this role is built for that combo
• Strong problem-solving instincts, eager to learn fast
• Based in or willing to relocate to Chennai
