What if… your work empowered teams across the world?

Software can help address the world’s biggest challenges from climate crisis to inefficiency in governments. However, many companies and teams are bogged down by inefficiencies and struggle to develop software effectively.

Tekkr’s mission is to empower tech leaders and their teams to achieve their full potential! Tech leaders in VC-backed startups use Tekkr Playbooks to remove bottlenecks, align teams and achieve business milestones faster. Join Tekkr and become a positive multiplier for tech teams across the globe!

Tekkr aims to build a strong & diverse team from day 1. We strongly encourage candidates of all backgrounds, including women and individuals from underrepresented groups, to apply!

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.

• You've built software before - A website for your hobby, an app for your school or anything else that involves a frontend. Your application should show what you have built in the past, bonus points if it's your own project.
• Minimum duration of internship: 3 months, ideally 6 months - starting as early as January 2025, latest April 1st 2025

• Join a team that has already established rapport with 50+ investors including Sequoia, Accel, Kleiner Perkins, Northzone, FoundersFund, Index Ventures + many leading German VCs like Earlybird, Holtzbrinck, …

We'd love for you to bring your passion for innovation and technology, but you don't need to have previous tech-industry experience.

At our core, we are in love with improvement and growth. We believe there is always room to get better. In that spirit we see this internship as a great opportunity for you to bring your unique personality and also go on an amazing growth journey.
