Requirements

What You Bring

A Hungry Mind: You’re eager to learn and grow. We offer mentorship, feedback and proven processes, but it’s your drive and curiosity that will make the difference.
From Rookie to Rocky: No previous experience? No problem. We value humility, hard work and a commitment to self-improvement over a packed résumé.
Familiarity with JavaScript and/or TypeScript: Whether you’re an expert or just starting out, we care about your ability to learn and grow. If we like your application, you’ll receive a coding challenge to demonstrate your skills. Don’t worry if you’re new to our tech stack—some of our best hires started from scratch and excelled by showing dedication and adaptability.
Strong English Skills: You can communicate effectively with the team in English. German is a plus but not a must.
Enrolled in Studies: You’re a student for at least one more year and available for 20 hours per week.
Located in Germany: You are based here and ready to dive into this exciting opportunity.

No cover letter required! If you want to apply, don’t submit a traditional motivation letter. Instead, send us 4-5 sentences about your personal upsides and downsides of working with TypeScript, or share links to open-source contributions you’ve made (don’t worry if you don’t have any—it’s not a requirement). Contributions can include comments, commits, pull requests, issues, or anything else that showcases your engagement and skills.
