Engineer intern

Based in
Shanghai
Type
Internship

This is not a fetch-the-coffee internship. You take well-specified issues, they go into the product, and real merchants use them.

What you will do

  • Take well-specified issues: the requirement is already worked out, and you build it
  • Run alongside the product: join the requirements discussions and know where your piece sits in the whole
  • Ship. What you finish goes live; it is not an exercise

"Well-specified" means someone has already worked out what needs solving and what it should become before it reaches you; how to build it is yours. The work comes from real merchant use, not from problems assembled to keep an intern busy.

What we look for

  • A master's candidate who can write code. You do not have to be the fastest; what you write has to be maintainable by someone else
  • Fluency with tools like Claude Code. A requirement, not a bonus point — we want you producing in your first week, and that is only possible amplified
  • You learn fast. Well-specified does not mean easy; you will meet things you have not seen
  • You ask. Two silent hours stuck wastes more than one question

On converting

If it goes well we will talk about a full-time offer. If it does not, we will say so rather than let you drift.

How to apply

Send your CV to the address below with the role in the subject line. Include one piece of real work you did with AI — what the job was, how you organised it, what it saved. That paragraph tells us more than the CV does.
