Merkle Science Backend Intern Bengaluru

Merkle Science backend intern Bengaluru 2027 is on the company’s Lever board as Software Engineer (Intern) — Backend. City: Bangalore. Mode: hybrid. Apply only at jobs.lever.co/merklescience. There is no application fee.

What Merkle Science actually does

Merkle Science builds blockchain transaction monitoring tools. Banks, exchanges, and agencies use the product to flag illicit crypto flows. HQ is listed as New York, with offices in Singapore, Bangalore and London. The Lever page says the firm has raised over US$27 million. This is a private product company, not a government lab.

What kind of internship this is

One-year backend intern. Hybrid: 3 days in office, 2 days work-from-home. Stipend line on the card is only “as per company policy” — no rupee figure. High performers “may be offered a full-time role, subject to a 2-year service lock-in.” Read that sentence twice before you treat this as a short summer break.

Who should apply — and who should skip

Apply if you are a final-year (graduating 2027) B.Tech / B.E. / Dual Degree student from IIT / NIT / IIIT only, in CSE, IT or a closely related CS branch, and you can do Python plus PostgreSQL in Bengaluru.

Skip if your college is not IIT/NIT/IIIT — the card says only those three. Skip if you graduate in 2026 or 2028. Skip if you cannot do a full year or cannot do three office days a week. Skip if a two-year lock-in after conversion is a deal-breaker and you have not thought about it.
