HireSetu's note
A fresher slot with owner-level duties
The experience line says zero, and the responsibilities read like someone who owns the server end to end: database schemas, hosting setup, scaling for load, backups, data migration and security compliance. In a small setup that list tends to land on one or two people, so ask which parts already exist and which you'd be building from scratch.
The front-end side is genuine work. You'll be wiring up React and JavaScript components other people wrote, chasing bugs in the browser and checking the app behaves on mobile as well as desktop. If your college projects were all server code, spend a few evenings in browser dev tools before you apply.
Pick a language and show what you built
PHP and Python are both named, with Laravel, Django and Flask in the stack. Choose the one you could defend in a conversation and put it at the top of your resume, followed by the thing that proves it: a REST API you designed, a schema you modelled, tests you actually wrote.
AWS appears in the requirements, so any internship or project where you touched a hosted server belongs high up. Automated testing and unit tests are listed as a duty, which makes a repo with real tests in it worth more than a paragraph of framework names.
What to pin down before you say yes
Ask how many developers you'd work alongside, who reviews your code, and who gets called when the server falls over at night. Those three answers decide whether the job is manageable for a first role.
Find out whether the AWS environment is already running or you're expected to set it up, and what's live in production that you'd be allowed near, since data migration and backups carry consequences when real users are on the other side. The degree requirement is stated plainly, so keep your qualification details on the first page.
