About the Role
Join a fast-growing, Series A/B-backed EdTech company building an AI-powered learning platform used by tens of millions of students across 30+ countries. As an Engineering Intern, you'll work alongside a talented and international engineering team to contribute to real product features that help students learn more effectively — from AI tutoring tools to study resources and beyond.
This is a hands-on internship where you'll be embedded in the team and expected to ship meaningful work. The internship runs for 3–6 months and is based in Berlin, Germany.
What You'll Do
- Contribute to the development and improvement of features across a mobile-first, AI-driven learning platform
- Write clean, well-tested code in one or more languages (e.g. Python, Java, or JavaScript)
- Collaborate with engineers and product managers in an agile environment
- Participate in code reviews and engineering discussions
- Take ownership of scoped tasks and deliver them end-to-end with guidance from senior engineers
What We're Looking For
Required:
- Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related field
- Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g. Python, Java, or JavaScript), demonstrated through coursework, personal projects, or a prior internship
- Ability to commit to the full internship duration (3–6 months) with a flexible schedule to accommodate project needs
- A portfolio or examples of coding work (e.g. a GitHub profile or project repository)
Nice to Have:
- Prior experience in a tech startup or product-focused engineering environment
- Familiarity with mobile app development (iOS/Android) or web development
- Interest in EdTech, AI, or consumer-facing applications
Location
- Berlin, Germany — on-site
- Visa sponsorship is not available for this role
Compensation & Benefits
Compensation details are not specified for this role. You'll gain hands-on experience at a high-growth EdTech company with a strong engineering culture and an international team tackling a meaningful problem in education.
Working student essentials
What this Tech internship in Berlin means for you: the pay rules, the social contributions, and what international students should check before applying.
Weekly hours
Internships have no 20-hour cap, but a voluntary internship longer than three months generally has to pay at least the German minimum wage. Mandatory internships in your study programme are exempt.
Working student rulesSocial contributions
Mandatory internships are largely exempt from social contributions. Voluntary internships are treated like regular employment once they run long enough, so contributions usually apply.
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.
