About the job
Backend Intern to Full-Time Opportunity
HelioAI (helioai.tech)
HelioAI is building a reliable AI concierge for Shopify brands, helping shoppers get accurate answers, discover products faster, and complete purchases with confidence, while reducing support workload for brands.
We’re looking for a Backend Intern with hands-on Node.js experience who can dedicate 6–8 hours a day and wants to work on real production systems across Shopify + AI infrastructure.
This role begins as a 4-month internship. Based on performance, consistency, and ownership, it can be converted into a full-time role. The same structure applies to compensation as well: an internship stipend during the first 4 months, followed by a revised full-time salary upon conversion.
Fresh graduates are welcome too if you’ve built real projects, enjoy solving backend problems, and love shipping fast.
What you’ll do
- Build backend services using Node.js + TypeScript
- Integrate Shopify Admin APIs (REST/GraphQL) and webhooks
- Create reliable workflows with retries, rate limits, and idempotency
- Work on caching, background jobs, and performance improvements
- Improve logging, monitoring, and backend stability
- Ship small, clean PRs with clear updates and consistent delivery
What you’ll work on
- Shopify onboarding, store sync, and webhook pipelines
- Billing and usage tracking across monthly and variable plans
- Conversation-to-order attribution infrastructure
- AI-powered tools for catalog fetch, order status, policies, and FAQs
Skills we’re looking for
- Strong basics in Node.js, TypeScript, Express/Fastify
- Working knowledge of MongoDB or Postgres
- Understanding of Redis and caching fundamentals
- Good debugging mindset and clean coding habits
- Bonus if you’ve worked with BullMQ, queues, GraphQL, or Shopify apps
Why this role
- Work on real production systems, not dummy assignments
- Ship features weekly and learn by building
- Get direct exposure to AI + ecommerce infrastructure
- Opportunity to move from internship to full-time based on performance
