Pear-VC - Software Engineering Intern
Requirements
• Back-end: Proficiency in Node.js / TypeScript or Python — ideally both. Comfort writing clean, testable server-side code. • Databases: Familiarity with relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred). Understanding of schema design and querying. • Front-end: Exposure to a modern JS framework (React is our stack). Able to translate product ideas into clean UI. • Cloud & DevOps: Any experience with AWS, CI/CD pipelines or containerisation is a bonus — not a requirement. • AI / ML: No prior AI experience is required. Curiosity about LLMs and how they work is all we ask.
Responsibilities

We work 4 days a week in person from our WeWork in Aldwych
