ABOUT THE ROLE
We build AI solutions for engineering. Our platform turns documents, technical drawings and CAD data into structured knowledge for engineers. You will work on the full stack: frontend, backend APIs, worker pipelines and deployment.
WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON
• Features end-to-end: Next.js frontend, FastAPI backend, PostgreSQL, Redis workers
• LLM features like retrieval, embeddings, agent tools and document processing
• Deploying and operating what you build. Our CI ships to real infrastructure and your code goes with it
MUST-HAVE
• Strong CS background, enrolled at a reputable university (working student status required)
• High ownership. You take problems end-to-end, ship without hand-holding, and own what you build in production
Fullstack:
• Hands-on fullstack experience in real projects, frontend and backend
• You have built and deployed something end-to-end, not just localhost. We will ask what broke and how you fixed it
• Comfortable in Python and TypeScript
Systems:
• Solid understanding of REST APIs: status codes, auth
• Docker, Linux shell, SSH. You can figure out why one container can't reach another
• SQL and schema migrations
• Git and PR workflows, commits a reviewer can follow
NICE-TO-HAVE
• Experience with LLM applications: embeddings, vector search, agents, prompt design
• Redis, message queues or async worker pipelines
• CI/CD (GitHub Actions or similar)
• Cloud experience: Azure, Hetzner, object storage
• Interest in AI for engineering: CAD, manufacturing, technical documentation
WHAT WE OFFER
• Strong compensation, above-market rates for working students
• Top-tier AI tools and budget covered
• Fast-paced environment. Small team, short feedback loops, your code ships the same week
• Flexibility. Remote-friendly, hours that work around your studies
Working student essentials
What this Tech 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.
