Job description

Most theses end up in a drawer. Yours won’t.

Are you an IT student in the final stretch of your Bachelor’s or Master’s? Are you looking for a graduation project that matters outside the lecture hall? At BetterBe we build the smart technology behind car leasing. Our cloud platform calculates millions of lease quotes for leasing companies, car brands and dealers across Europe, quickly, accurately and in real time. Behind every quote is a large amount of vehicle data, complex logic and solid software engineering. We’re always on the lookout for curious students who want to take on a real challenge with us.

What you’ll do

• Set up and carry out your own research project from start to finish
• Work alongside experienced developers, architects and product people
• Build proofs of concept and test them against real data and real use cases
• Present your findings to the team, and maybe see them land in production

Who we’re looking for

• A final-year HBO or WO student in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Business IT or a similar programme
• Someone curious who likes figuring out why something works, not just that it works
• A self-starter who isn’t afraid to ask questions (we love questions)
• Good English skills. Dutch is a bonus, not a must

What’s in it for you

• An internship allowance of €500 per month
• Free lunch every day you’re at the office
• A laptop to use during your internship
• A dedicated supervisor who has your back throughout your project
• Flexible, hybrid working
• A warm, informal team with drinks, fun activities and the occasional bad pun
• A real chance of a job offer after you graduate

BetterBe: where your graduation project makes a real impact.
