Who We Are & What We Build

We are an early-stage Enterprise AI startup led by an ex-Amazon acquired founder and a CTO with 20+ years of architectural experience. We build real tech for global brands. We are the creators of Tuck, an enterprise Virtual Try-On (VTON) AI platform that provides deep-tech infrastructure to digital fashion retailers.

Our Culture: The Accelerator

At Xapien Innovatus (XIPL), our culture operates like a career accelerator: we invest heavily in promising, raw engineering talent straight out of college and back them with tight, hands-on mentorship. We provide a thrilling, high-growth environment specifically designed to mentor you rapidly from an intern into an independent, core Software Engineer within a fast-paced product company.

What You Will Do

You are joining our core development team. You won't be working on a temporary intern project that gets deleted when you leave; you are here to build.

• Write Production Code: You will write clean, efficient code that will actually be deployed and used by our enterprise merchants and their shoppers.
• Full-Stack Development: Work across the stack to build API endpoints, integrate AI models, and ensure our frontend Shopify plugins run smoothly.
• Learn Real-World Architecture: Move beyond college theory. Learn how to handle edge cases, manage databases, and build systems that don't crash under user load.
• Take Ownership: When an API breaks or a webhook fails, you won't just pass it off. You will dive into the logs, figure out the issue, and fix it.

Who You Are (The Ideal Profile)

• Education: Recent graduate or final-year student (B.Tech in CS/IT, MCA, or related). You must have a strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and web technologies.
• The Builder Mindset: You don't just study for exams; you build. You have a GitHub profile, side projects, or hackathon work that shows you genuinely enjoy coding.
• Tech Agnostic & Fast Learner: You are comfortable with modern web development but care more about solving the problem than sticking to one specific programming language.
• Attention to Detail: You take pride in your work. You test your code thoroughly before asking for a review.

What’s In It For You

• The PPO Opportunity: This 6-month internship is a direct path to a permanent role. Prove your technical execution, and you will secure a full-time SDE position.
• Direct Mentorship: Bypass the usual corporate hierarchy. You will work directly with our CTO and senior leadership, learning the realities of scaling a tech startup.
• Real Resume Impact: Build SaaS products used by real brands, giving you tangible, production-level experience early in your career.
