Go (Golang) Backend Development Internship

Go (Golang) Backend Development Internship — AIIP

About AIIP

AIIP (All India Internship Program) is India's largest structured internship platform. Go is the language of choice for high-performance infrastructure — and this internship gives you the rare opportunity to build production-calibre Go systems early in your career.

About This Role

Go (Golang) was designed at Google to handle millions of concurrent requests efficiently. It's the language behind Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Prometheus, and Cloudflare's edge network. In this internship, you'll learn Go from the ground up and apply it to real backend engineering challenges.

What You'll Work On

• Go fundamentals: types, structs, interfaces, goroutines, channels
• Building REST APIs with the standard library and Gin/Chi frameworks
• Database integration: PostgreSQL with sqlx/GORM, connection pooling
• Concurrency patterns: worker pools, pipelines, fan-out/fan-in
• Authentication: JWT, middleware, rate limiting
• Building CLI tools with Cobra
• Unit testing, table-driven tests, benchmarks
• Containerisation with Docker and deployment basics

Skills You'll Build

• Go — Language fundamentals, idiomatic patterns, standard library
• Concurrency — Goroutines, channels, sync primitives
• REST APIs — Gin/Chi, middleware, error handling
• PostgreSQL — GORM/sqlx, migrations
• DevOps Basics — Docker, Makefile, environment configuration

What AIIP Provides

• ✅ 12-week Go engineering curriculum
• ✅ Real backend projects with production-like requirements
• ✅ Code reviews focused on idiomatic Go
• ✅ LMS access with Go resources and project starters
• ✅ Internship Completion Certificate
• ✅ Portfolio website with your Go projects and GitHub

Who Should Apply

Students with any prior programming experience who want to specialise in high-performance backend systems. Go is particularly well-suited for those coming from C, Java, or Python backgrounds.
