We are seeking a Backend Development Intern to collaborate directly with the CEO of Project Biotech.

This role is ideal for a high school student interested in backend development, databases, and building the infrastructure behind a biotech-related web or mobile app. The intern will focus on designing MySQL databases and writing PHP API endpoints, with the potential to explore Flutter-based app development depending on progress and interest. All development will be done within a hosted LAMP environment using tools like phpMyAdmin, Postman, and GitHub.

Responsibilities:

Design and implement MySQL database schemas and tables to support app functionality.
Develop secure, well-documented PHP API endpoints for use by frontend interfaces.
Work within a hosted LAMP environment to deploy and test backend code.
Use phpMyAdmin for database management and Postman for testing API endpoints.
Use GitHub to collaborate and version control backend code.
Collaborate closely with the CEO to align backend architecture with app features and functionality.
Optionally contribute to Flutter-based mobile development depending on project needs and experience.

Benefits:

Practical experience building backend infrastructure for a biotech startup project.
One-on-one mentorship from a biomedical engineering graduate student and startup founder.
Exposure to industry-relevant tools like phpMyAdmin, Postman, GitHub, and Flutter.
Opportunity to develop real-world backend and API development skills in a live project.
Flexible, remote work tailored to your high school schedule and learning pace.

Requirements:

High school student enrolled in a U.S.-based academic program.
Foundational experience with backend programming (PHP, MySQL) and interest in software development.
Willingness to work within a web-hosted LAMP environment (cPanel, FTP).
Familiarity or willingness to learn phpMyAdmin, Postman, and GitHub.
Strong communication, organization, and independent problem-solving skills.
Interest in mobile development with Flutter is a bonus, not a requirement.

Time Commitment: ~8 hours per week
