Tasks

As Product Engineering Intern, you will contribute to building Tekkr’s product from the ground up. This means you will get to work on important features and leave your mark on the product.

You will focus primarily on frontend development but we like to work outcome-driven and want you to take ownership of the things you work on. Since we’re a small team, you get to take on other responsibilities such as design, backend development or product work. We are looking forward to you bringing your strengths to the team and will tailor your activities to your skill set and interests. Because we want you to grow, you will get plenty of support to learn and your own areas of ownership to shine.

You will work directly with everyone in the company such as our founder Philipp Römer (former VP-Product at Forto) and Moritz Bruder, our Founding Engineer, who has been building software for over 10 years and who you will work with most closely.

We work with React, Tailwind CSS, TypeScript, Node, and MongoDB.
