Technical Foundation & Workflow:
Basic programming skills acquired through university projects or personal repositories.
Nice to have: First experience with Git (or similar version control systems) for branching, committing, and opening pull requests.
Nice to have: An understanding of clean code principles and a basic mindset for writing automated tests.
Agile Mindset & Collaboration:
Initial exposure to Agile methodologies (Scrum or Kanban) is a plus, but a strong willingness to learn our workflow is essential.
Excellent communication skills to collaborate effectively with a hybrid team and manage your availability proactively around your university schedule.
High organizational skills to break down technical tasks so they fit into your weekly working hours.
An open mindset for continuous learning and active participation in code reviews and team retrospectives.
Language Skills: Business fluent English skills (both written and spoken), enabling you to collaborate naturally within our international team.
What you get:
* Work in a highly motivated and experienced engineering team on a real project
* In our Agile setup, your voice carries the same weight. You will participate in sprint retrospectives and architecture planning just like any full-time engineer.
* A dedicated Senior Developer will act as your mentor, ensuring you learn modern Agile best practices.
* Study from campus, work from home. We support a hybrid setup that adapts to your lecture schedule.
Sounds like the right fit for your studies? We are looking forward to your application!
