Descrizione del lavoro

About us:

Since 2010, MotorK has been building the software that powers how cars are sold and marketed across Europe - long before "SaaS" and "digital transformation" became buzzwords. Today, we serve 90% of Europe's automotive manufacturers, and we're evolving that foundation into an AI-native platform.

Our products help dealer groups and manufacturers run smarter campaigns, manage complex customer networks, and close more deals. Now, we're embedding AI across the entire Software Development Lifecycle - from ideation and design to coding, testing, deployment, and production optimization.

If you care about shipping real systems that real businesses depend on daily - and you're excited about using AI to radically accelerate how those systems are built - this is an environment where your work compounds from day one.

Why this role is interesting:

You build real features on systems that actually matter

This is not a sandbox project or an isolated ticket queue. You'll contribute to MotorK's core platform, used by automotive manufacturers across Europe. What you ship reaches production, impacts customers, and operates at scale.

You work across the full lifecycle, not just a layer

You won't be siloed into one task. You'll move across implementation, code review, testing, and deployment - understanding how the whole system fits together, with senior engineers alongside you at every step.

You work in an AI-native engineering environment

AI is not an afterthought here. It's embedded into how we design, code, review, test, and ship software. You're expected to actively leverage tools like Cursor, Claude, and Copilot to accelerate your own development cycles, improve code quality, and explore better solutions faster. We'll help you build that muscle early.

You ship across borders

You'll collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams across multiple European offices - getting exposure to how distributed, international engineering organizations actually operate.

Requirements

What we're looking for:

You're pursuing or have recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field. More importantly, you've written code outside of coursework - personal projects, open-source contributions, or previous internships that show you build things because you're curious, not just because it was assigned.

Concretely:

• Working knowledge of PHP and Python, demonstrated through real use
• Solid grasp of object-oriented programming and software fundamentals
• You write clean, maintainable code and can explain why you made the tradeoffs you did
• Strong problem-solving instincts and a genuine eagerness to learn fast
• Clear communicator in English, written and verbal - you work with people across countries

Useful to have, not required:

• Exposure to Java, Go, or other backend languages
• Familiarity with RESTful APIs, microservices, or cloud platforms
• Experience with relational or document databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB)

Benefits

• Paid 6 month internship - 1000€ per month
• Meal Vouchers (€7 per working day)
• Opportunity to develop and move within the company
• Food canteen at the office
