Job Description

About Fooji

Fooji is a marketing engagement platform that powers promotional campaigns and gift/prize fulfillment for brands. Our engineering team builds and maintains backend infrastructure, third-party integrations, and APIs that support high-traffic consumer campaigns — from messaging and identity verification to logistics and creator/influencer tooling.

About the Role

We're looking for a motivated tech intern to join our engineering team for the Fall semester. You'll work directly with our engineering team on real, production-facing features — not busywork. Recent projects on the team have included creator search infrastructure, AWS messaging systems (SMS/MMS/RCS), API integrations with third-party enrichment platforms, and backend data pipelines.

This role is a great fit for a student who wants hands-on experience with modern cloud infrastructure, API design, and AI-assisted software development in a fast-moving startup environment.

What You'll Do

Assist in building and testing backend services in Node.js/TypeScript
Work with AWS services (Lambda, DynamoDB, RDS/PostgreSQL, EventBridge, SNS, and others) under senior engineer guidance
Help integrate and test third-party APIs (webhook-based enrichment services, messaging platforms, identity verification, shipping/logistics)
Write and troubleshoot SQL queries against PostgreSQL databases
Participate in code review and contribute to our engineering documentation and internal tooling
Use AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, or similar) as part of your daily workflow — we're an AI-forward team and expect interns to be comfortable pairing with these tools

Requirements

Qualifications

Currently enrolled full-time or within 2 years of graduation
Pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field
GPA of 3.5 or higher
Hands-on experience with an AI coding assistant (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) — comfortable using these tools to accelerate development, not just for autocomplete
Some coursework or project experience with JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL, or general backend development
Familiarity with Git/GitHub
Able to work Eastern Time Zone business hours
Strong communication skills and comfort asking questions — we move fast and value people who speak up when something's unclear

Nice to Have (not required)

Exposure to AWS or another cloud provider
Coursework involving APIs, databases, or distributed systems
Personal projects, hackathon experience, or open-source contributions

Benefits

Why Intern at Fooji

Direct mentorship from engineers working on production systems used by major brands
Exposure to real cloud architecture decisions, not toy projects
A team culture that treats AI tools as a core part of the craft, not a shortcut to avoid learning
Potential path to future opportunities based on performance
