Software Engineering Intern

Position Title: Software Engineering Intern

Location: Islamabad, Pakistan (Remote / کام گھر سے)

Engagement Type: Independent Contractor Internship

Genifem builds AI agents that automate business operations and streamline processes for growing companies. Our systems handle HR workflows, customer complaint resolution, facility maintenance troubleshooting, and marketing processes, deployed live with paying clients across multiple states. We are a fast-moving team building real products used by real businesses.

You will support our AI Automation Lead and Full Stack Developer on active client builds and live AI deployments. This is hands-on engineering where you will write code that ships directly to production for paying clients, rather than working in isolated sandbox environments. This internship serves as a direct pathway to a full-time Software Engineer role based on demonstrated performance and technical delivery over 90 days.

• Support the development and maintenance of AI automations, workflows, and multi-system integrations
• Contribute clean, maintainable code to our core platform (Node.js) and automation layer (Python)
• Collaborate directly with engineers to understand business use cases and technical requirements before building
• Participate actively in sprint planning, task estimation, and peer code reviews
• Help troubleshoot, debug, and optimize systems and workflows already running live with clients
• Use modern AI coding tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar) effectively as part of your daily development workflow

• Currently pursuing or recently graduated with a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent self-taught experience with demonstrated work)
• Proficient in Python and/or JavaScript (Node.js) with a strong grasp of core programming concepts
• Practical experience building and consuming RESTful APIs, with familiarity in modern web application frameworks
• Strong analytical and debugging skills—able to work through complex technical issues methodically
• Comfortable integrating AI coding assistants into an active software development lifecycle
• Self-driven with the ability to take a scoped technical task and execute independently with minimal oversight
• Strong written English communication skills and comfort working asynchronously in a distributed team
• Required: A GitHub profile, live project URL, or portfolio demonstrating real, functional code

• Real-world production engineering practices shipping code directly to live enterprise client environments
• Architecture and deployment of enterprise AI agents, automated pipelines, and third-party API integrations
• Direct daily mentorship and rigorous code reviews from senior engineering leads
• End-to-end exposure across the full stack: automation engines, backend services, and client interfaces
• A clear, merit-based career progression path toward a permanent Software Engineer position

• Work Arrangement: 100% Remote (work on your own laptop/computer)
• Time Commitment: 40 hours per week, full-time commitment required
• Engagement: Independent Contractor (Full-time commitment)
• Path to Full-Time: Successful interns who complete 90 days with demonstrated code quality, reliable sprint delivery, and proactive problem-solving will be offered a conversion to full-time Software Engineer
• Payment: Monthly payment in USD via direct bank transfer
• Taxes: As an independent contractor, you are responsible for reporting your income and paying applicable personal income taxes in Pakistan (FBR)
• Intellectual Property: All code, repositories, technical architectures, automations, and documentation created during the internship remain the exclusive property of Genifem
• Confidentiality: Client codebases, proprietary agent workflows, and internal architectures are confidential and subject to non-disclosure
• Work Eligibility: Candidates must have legal authorization to work and receive bank transfers in Pakistan

Genifem hires based purely on skill, engineering ability, and potential. We welcome candidates of all backgrounds without discrimination.
