Paid Internship — Full-Stack MERN (TypeScript, Next.js, Node/Express, Tailwind, MongoDB)

SMB DigitalZone is offering a paid 3-month internship (30,000 PKR/month) with free Udemy access and the opportunity to convert into a Junior Full-Stack Developer role based on performance.

About the Role

This is a full-stack internship: you will use Next.js (with TypeScript + Tailwind) for the frontend and Node.js/Express (TypeScript) for the backend, with MongoDB as the database.

You will build real features end-to-end and deploy them on proper hosting platforms (DigitalOcean, AWS, Azure, Render, Railway, etc. — Vercel is unacceptable). By the end of the program, you should be capable of delivering production-ready applications.

Eligibility (Strict)

• Only final-year Computer Science/Software Engineering students OR fresh graduates (≤2 years).
• Applicants outside this criteria = auto-reject.

Responsibilities

• Develop frontend apps with Next.js (TypeScript + Tailwind CSS).
• Build backend APIs with Node.js + Express (TypeScript).
• Design and manage schemas in MongoDB.
• Implement authentication, validation, role-based access control, and error handling.
• Deploy both frontend and backend to proper hosting platforms.
• Collaborate using GitHub (branches, PRs, reviews).

Requirements

• TypeScript everywhere (frontend + backend).
• Experience with Next.js (at least one deployed project with Tailwind).
• Strong in Node.js + Express (TypeScript).
• Database design + queries with MongoDB.
• Must have deployed at least one project to proper hosting (not just Vercel). GitHub repo + live link required.
• Familiar with Git/GitHub workflows.

Bonus Skills

• Zod, React Hook Form, shadcn/ui.
• Knowledge of SSR/ISR/SSG in Next.js.
• JWT authentication, refresh tokens, multi-role permissions.
• CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Docker).

What We Offer

• Paid internship: 30,000 PKR/month.
• Free Udemy course access for growth.
• Weekly mentorship + code reviews.
• A structured 12-week roadmap with real-world deployments.
• Conversion Path: Strong performers will be offered a full-time Junior Developer role.

Work Schedule

• Monday to Friday, 9:30 AM – 7:30 PM.
• 1-hour lunch break (Friday: 1.5 hours).
• Weekends off.
