Engineers work closely with product teams and company leadership, take features from idea to production, and have a direct role in shaping the platform.\nEngineering at Bask is AI-first and builder-led. We use tools like Cursor and Claude Code throughout development while maintaining high standards for reliability, testing, and software quality.\nAbout the Role\nWe're looking for a Backend Engineering Intern to join Bask Health's engineering team and gain hands-on experience building software for our telehealth platform.\nYou'll work alongside experienced engineers on backend services, APIs, databases, and internal tools that support patient experiences, clinical workflows, pharmacy operations, and merchant-facing applications.\nThis internship is designed for students and early-career developers who have a foundation in programming and want to learn how professional engineering teams design, build, test, and maintain production software.\nOur engineering stack includes TypeScript, Node.js, AWS, SST, and SQL databases, with technologies such as Prisma, Drizzle, and tRPC used across the platform.\nYou'll receive guidance through code reviews and technical discussions while contributing to well-defined projects with practical outcomes.\nWe don't expect you to know every technology in our stack before joining. We're looking for someone who is curious, enjoys writing code, asks thoughtful questions, and wants to improve through real engineering work.\nYou'll have opportunities to see how backend systems connect to the rest of our platform and develop a stronger understanding of software architecture, testing, security, and deployment.\nWhat You'll Do\nContribute to backend development projects under the guidance of experienced engineers.\nBuild and improve small APIs, backend services, and application features using TypeScript and Node.js.\nWork with SQL databases to retrieve, update, and organize application data.\nAssist with backend functionality supporting patient experiences, clinical workflows, pharmacy operations, and merchant tools.\nHelp develop and maintain integrations between internal services and third-party APIs.\nLearn how Bask uses AWS and SST to build and deploy serverless applications.\nAssist with writing database queries, updating data models, and implementing application logic.\nWrite automated tests to verify backend functionality and help prevent regressions.\nInvestigate bugs, reproduce issues, and work with engineers to identify solutions.\nParticipate in code reviews and learn how to improve code quality, readability, and maintainability.\nCollaborate with engineers to understand technical requirements and break work into manageable tasks.\nHelp maintain documentation for APIs, backend features, and development workflows.\nUse AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor and Claude Code to support coding, debugging, testing, and learning while reviewing generated code carefully.\nLearn how authentication, authorization, and application security are implemented in production systems.\nAssist with monitoring, logging, and troubleshooting backend services.\nContribute to improving existing code, simplifying workflows, and reducing repetitive engineering tasks.\nWork on clearly defined projects with measurable outcomes and feedback from an engineering mentor.\nLearn how changes are tested, reviewed, deployed, and monitored in a production environment.\nParticipate in engineering discussions, ask questions, and share ideas.\nDevelop practical experience with Git, collaborative development, and professional software engineering practices.\nBuild confidence in independently completing smaller engineering tasks while learning from the team.\nRequirements\nCurrently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, or developing equivalent skills through self-study, bootcamps, or practical projects.\nBasic programming experience with JavaScript, TypeScript, or another modern programming language.\nFamiliarity with programming fundamentals, data structures, and basic software design principles.\nExperience building software through coursework, personal projects, internships, or open-source contributions.\nBasic understanding of how web applications, APIs, and backend services work.\nFamiliarity with relational databases or introductory SQL concepts.\nBasic experience with Git or another version control system.\nAbility to write readable code and explain your approach to solving programming problems.\nWillingness to learn backend development using TypeScript and Node.js.\nInterest in cloud infrastructure, APIs, databases, and production software development.\nAbility to debug basic programming issues and seek guidance when needed.\nWillingness to learn automated testing and software quality practices.\nInterest in using AI-assisted development tools while understanding and validating the code they produce.\nStrong curiosity, initiative, and attention to detail.\nAbility to communicate clearly, ask questions, and incorporate feedback.\nComfortable collaborating with engineers and working on assigned projects.\nWillingness to learn unfamiliar technologies and development workflows.\nNo previous professional engineering or healthcare experience required.\nNice to Have\nCoursework or personal projects involving backend development.\nExperience building applications with JavaScript, TypeScript, or Node.js.\nFamiliarity with REST APIs or other web service technologies.\nExperience using PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, or another relational database.\nExposure to AWS, SST, or other cloud platforms.\nFamiliarity with Prisma, Drizzle, or tRPC.\nExperience building full-stack applications using React or Next.js.\nExperience deploying a personal project or application.\nFamiliarity with automated testing frameworks.\nExperience integrating third-party APIs.\nBasic understanding of authentication, authorization, and application security.\nFamiliarity with serverless applications, background jobs, or asynchronous programming.\nExperience contributing to open-source projects or participating in hackathons.\nA GitHub profile or portfolio demonstrating technical projects.\nExperience using Cursor, Claude Code, or similar AI-assisted development tools.\nInterest in healthcare technology, SaaS platforms, or e-commerce systems.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6793,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United
