Software Engineer Intern - AI & Development Focus

About the Role

We are excited to announce an opportunity for a Software Engineer Intern to join our team at Bending Spoons, a company dedicated to building one of the all-time great companies. This Software Engineer Intern remote position is designed for individuals who are eager to learn, grow, and make a significant impact in the tech industry. As part of our team, you will be involved in projects that matter, contributing to systems used by millions.

What You'll Do

• Build software that matters. Take real ownership from idea to production, creating systems used by millions and evolving them into products at scale.
• Amplify your impact with AI. Integrate the most powerful AI tools directly into your development workflow—design, implementation, testing, and documentation—to move faster while maintaining high standards for correctness, reliability, and maintainability.
• Master your toolkit. Work across diverse stacks with end-to-end ownership, choosing the right technologies for each challenge. From monoliths to microservices, gRPC to REST, Kubernetes to Docker, Python to Rust—you’ll apply technologies thoughtfully, focusing on depth and purpose rather than trends.
• Simplify relentlessly. Question every layer of complexity. Improve architectures, pipelines, and codebases to build systems that are simpler, more scalable, and easier to maintain.
• Collaborate closely with skilled teammates and build strong foundations for your growth in a supportive environment.

Requirements

• Reasoning ability. Given the necessary knowledge, you can solve complex problems and think from first principles.
• Drive. You’re extremely ambitious in everything you do, and your initiative, effort, and tenacity match the intensity of your ambition.
• Team spirit. You give generously and support the best idea, not just your own.
• Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak proficiently in English.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with AI tools and technologies.
• Experience with Python, Rust, gRPC, Kubernetes, and Docker.
• Understanding of microservices architecture.

What We Offer

• Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. Work in small, result-oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.
• An exceptional opportunity for growth. Our priority is to put you in the ideal position to thrive.
• Competitive pay and access to equity in the company. We offer an annual salary of €66,065 for interns, with potential growth as you gain experience.
• Flexible hours and remote working options to help you balance your studies and work.
• A rich relocation package if you need to move for the role.
