Description provided by Alago
Construction software looks like it was designed in 2000. Because most of it actually was.
We're building something different. AI-powered, yes. But also: Actually intuitive. Actually something a 55-year-old office project manager and a young Azubi want to use at the same time.
Construction deserves software that doesn't suck. You'll help build it.
alago is a year old, raised a seven-figure pre-seed, and you'll define our visual identity during month 12-24 of the company. This window closes fast.

- Create the design system: Design components in Figma, collaborate with engineers to build them.
- Prototype new features: Build demos in Figma or Lovable, contribute to specs so the team can ship fast.
- Learn from users: See what actually confuses construction teams and iterate how we can improve their experiece.
- Make Alago look good everywhere: Landing pages, product animations, launch materials and brand collaterals.

Working student essentials
What this Design working student role in Munich means for you: the weekly-hours rules, the social-contribution perks, and what international students should check before applying.
Weekly hours
Working students may work up to 20 hours a week during the semester and full-time during the breaks. Staying within this keeps your student status and the Werkstudent benefits.
Working student rulesSocial contributions
Under the Werkstudentenprivileg you're exempt from health, care and unemployment insurance contributions — only pension insurance applies. That leaves more net pay than a regular job.
Check your insuranceInternational students
Non-EU students can work 140 full or 280 half days per year (raised from 120/240 in March 2024). A working student contract usually fits within this — confirm the exact limits printed on your residence permit.
