  • Contribute to the optimization of internal technical processes, making engineering faster, more efficient, and more impactful

  • Think analytically, act proactively, and can translate complex technical insights into actionable plans
  • Thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments and adapt quickly to changing priorities
  • Communicate clearly and influence stakeholders across technical and non-technical teams

Why Join Us?

At Lio, you’ll work side-by-side with the CTO and Core Engineering leadership, gaining unparalleled exposure to technical strategy and product development in a category-defining AI company.

Working student essentials

What this Tech internship in Munich 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 rules

Social 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 insurance

International 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.
