To solve a completely unique set of complex problems, we are building a strong product and technology team, and a wonderful workplace for great people. As part of that, we give a handful of students a unique opportunity to join our tailored summer program for students in design, technology and data science. Are you one of them?

We look for interns who

• Loves programming and have a big interest in web development or DevOps and infrastructure

• Likes to work on challenging problems and solve them by using technology

• Focus on creating neat and maintainable code, and preferably have some experience with Python, Django, Javascript (React with friends), PostgreSQL/SQL and/or HTML/CSS

• Preferably are completing their masters degree in 2022 or 2023

• Fluent in English. Ability to speak and understand Norwegian is a plus

The Summer Internship

• Cross-functional team: We believe that product and technology development works at its best in cross functional teams with a high level of autonomy. We like to work across functions to better understand which problems to solve and to create great results with actual impact. That is why our summer interns work in teams with engineers, data scientists and designers, typically with 3-4 students on each team.

• Real projects: We live and breathe to make sure that what we build actually makes a difference. That is why our summer students will take on important challenges with the goal to have made actual real products by the end of the summer.

• Mentorship and learning: Through concrete work in a cross-functional team on real projects that will make an impact, we will provide relevant and valuable experience, technically and professionally. We offer experienced coaches within design, engineering and data science, so that both you and we are left with important learning.
