Software Engineering Internship

Position Summary

Learners' Club (LCIN Pvt Ltd) invites applications for a three-month, task-based, self-paced Software Engineering Internship. The intern will help build the company's software and the internal utilities that support it, working remotely under the direct supervision of the Chief Technology Officer.

About LCIN Private Limited

Learners' Club is an education organisation delivering diagnostic-driven, personalised learning support to students, teachers and institutions. Its services range from an online learning management system (LMS) and self-learning tool to training, learning resources, mentorship and research-project support for institutions. LC Live Online, a personalised coaching institute powered by LCIN, trains students of Grades 9 to 12.

The technology team builds and maintains the software behind these services: the learning platform used by students, mentors and administrators, the shared backend and database that power it, and the internal tools that keep the organisation running. The team works in a small, fast-moving environment where engineers see their work used by real students and teachers.

Role Overview

The Software Engineering Intern will contribute to the development of LCIN's software and to the utilities the company needs as requirements arise. Work arrives as discrete tasks assigned by the CTO. The intern completes each task independently, shares progress daily and seeks guidance when blocked.

The role suits a student who wants to work on production-grade software in a real product environment, take ownership of well-defined tasks, and build a verifiable record of shipped work.

How the Internship Works

• Task-based: Work is assigned as individual tasks, each with a clear outcome. Utilities and tools are built as requirements crop up, so the mix of work will vary.

• Self-paced: There are no fixed working hours. The intern manages their own schedule and is assessed on the quality and completion of tasks.

• Daily updates: A short written update is submitted every day covering what was done, what is in progress and any blockers.

• Version-controlled delivery: All work is delivered through Git and GitHub using branches and pull requests, and is reviewed before it is merged.

• AI-assisted development: Interns are expected to work with AI-assisted and agentic development tools, and to follow the team's architecture and code-style documentation when doing so. The intern remains responsible for understanding, testing and standing behind every change they submit.
