Every year we open a few internships.
We avoid "herds", meaning we are looking for a few unicorn students.
Why just a few?
We want to pair you with the best and brightest from each tech stack that have the time to support your growth.
Why?
Our measure of internship success is if you at the end of our internship have grown drastically and we deeply want you to remain with us (while all other companies around us all want you too), but we hope you have enjoyed this journey enough to remain with us!
What can you find here?
- We will treat you like an Adult (check the self-organization link above) but basically we want people that like to be autonomous and don't need adult (cof manager cof) supervison to tell them what they need to do all the time
- Although this might sound weird... don't take autonomy for no team work. We are all about team work. Hope you are a team player, since this we what allow us to create magic at the end of the day.
- We will be working on the state of the art - get ready to push the limits and have fun!
Requirements
To do an internship with us you need to:
- Be doing a curricular internship BsC, MsC..

- Be in love with tech (it is quite visible when interviewing if you really want to grow and internship with us!)
