Job details:
Company: TradeX
Position: MERN / Full Stack Developer Intern (Unpaid)
Location: Remote
Duration: 3 Months
About TradeX: TradeX is a high-performance, 100% free virtual F&O paper-trading platform designed exclusively for Nifty 50 and Bank Nifty. Our mission is to help Indian retail traders and beginners practice options trading in a realistic, live-market environment without burning their hard-earned capital. We are moving fast, and we need a hardcore developer to help scale our architecture. Your goal isn't just to "write code"—it's to build ultra-fast, low-latency systems capable of handling live market data and high concurrent user traffic.
Role & Responsibilities:
- Frontend Execution: Build and optimize responsive, minimalist UI components using React.js / Next.js (App Router) and Tailwind CSS.
- Backend & APIs: Write clean, scalable server-side logic using Node.js and Express to handle user authentication, virtual trade execution, and portfolio management.
- Real-Time Data Handling: Work closely with WebSockets (Socket.io) and Redis caching to ensure live market prices and charts flash on the screen with zero latency.
- Database Management: Design schema, manage states, and optimize queries using MongoDB and PostgreSQL (our primary data engine) to ensure lightning-fast read/write speeds.
- Bug Squashing & Deployment: Assist in debugging routing issues, optimizing server load, and ensuring smooth performance across our live AWS-deployed infrastructure.
Requirements:
- A "Jugaadu" and hardcore problem-solving mindset. You don't just copy-paste from ChatGPT or StackOverflow; you figure out why the code works.
- Solid hands-on experience with the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js). Experience with Next.js is a massive plus.
- Understanding of real-time data flows and WebSockets (Socket.io).
- Basic familiarity with Git, API integrations (fetching live data), and state management.
- A "Get It Done" attitude where clean code, low server load, and zero crash rates are your primary obsession.
Perks:
- Performance Upside: Interns who ship scalable code and help optimize our infrastructure will be fast-tracked for a permanent paid role or given direct performance bonuses.
- Direct Mentorship: Work directly with the solo full-stack technical founder. Learn the exact architecture of how a scalable fintech app is built, deployed (Docker, Nginx, AWS), and scaled from zero to one.
- Real-World Impact: You won't be working on dummy to-do list apps. You will push code that thousands of actual traders will interact with in a live-market environment.
- Certificate & LOR: A Letter of Recommendation and an official Internship Certificate upon successful completion.
If you're an ambitious developer who wants to get their hands dirty with heavy real-time data and build a massive fintech system, this is your launchpad.
