We are a small but robust team focused on creating innovative, high-quality digital solutions for our clients. Our expertise spans a wide range of industries and platforms, enabling us to deliver customized, user-centric applications that drive business growth and efficiency. At the core of our business philosophy is a commitment to staying at the forefront of technology, continually adapting to the ever-evolving digital landscape.

Position Overview

As a Front-End Software Engineering Intern, you will work primarily with React and Next.js to build and maintain modern, interactive web applications. You will gain experience working on projects in a real-world environment across a multi-modal development team, creating real impact for our clients. This position offers a unique insight into the world of software development for those just entering the industry, by providing you with meaningful projects and freedom rarely granted to student interns.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and implement front-end web code, working closely with designers and back-end engineers
  • Optimize front-end rendering for maximum speed and scalability
  • Ensure the technical feasability of all UI/UX designers
  • Contribute to all phases of the development lifecycle
  • Participate in code reviews and improve software quality

  • Knowledge of React, Next.js, Angular, Vue.js or similar frameworks is a plus
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a willingness to learn

You will thrive in this role if...

  • You are a self starter. Our team is small and busy so we won't be micromanaging you. We expect consistent, high-quality work without constant intervention.
  • You enjoy learning. We don't have very stringent requirements for this position, so we're okay with less-experienced applicants as long as you're willing to upskill yourself.
  • You are a problem solver. When you run up against challenges and ambiguity, you think of solving it objectively and analytically. You take ownership.
  • You are a team player who loves to pitch in, roll up your sleeves, generate ideas, and produce results.
  • You are a great communicator. You communicate effectively across a variety of stakeholders. Your written and verbal communication is clear and concise.

What will you get?

  • Hands-on experience with front-end development in a professional setting
  • Mentorship from experienced software engineers
  • Opportunity to work on meaningful projects and contribute to the success of our clients.
  • Networking opportunities within the tech industry

This position is open for both full and part-time. Our team is primarily remote, however there may be some option for hybrid work in Cambridge.

We are an equal opportunity employer and we encourage applicants from every background and life experience to apply.

All the best!
