• Search core: Elasticsearch, Apache Solr, or custom Lucene‑based implementation
• Storage: NoSQL
• Front‑end: React or Vue.js

Profile and requirements:

• Bac+3 to Bac+5 in Software Engineering, Data Science, or Backend Systems (Bac+4/Bac+5 preferred; engineering cycle or master’s degree)
• Strong backend/software engineering foundations and interest in information retrieval, indexing, and ranking

Internship details:

• Duration: 4–6 months
• Mode: Remote

Application package:

• Updated CV
• 1‑page cover letter specifying: Project reference code (PFE‑05) and relevant skills/experience
