Backend development Intern

Salary Unpaid

Are you passionate about developing a platform that thousands of people depend on? Are you excited about creating robust solutions for both users - and developers? Then you belong with us!


What is Faundit?

Millions of visitors worldwide forget belongings in hotels, trains or ferries. Faundit is an awesome digital platform that allows hospitality organizations to return lost belongings back to their rightful owners. We currently help over 200 organizations across the globe to connect with those unlucky guests. Our partners love us because we help them save time and streamline an otherwise messy process.

The back-end is in node.js and is purely built in TypeScript with a MySQL DB. We have started to implement serverless functions for some aspects. Our front-end stack includes React/Redux (TypeScript). We use Heroku for continuous deployment.

We are working on two-way integrations with other software/APIs and have machine learning (Python) running in production.


Who is Faundit?

We are a young and dynamic company with a casual and personal atmosphere. Most of our employees started as interns and made themselves indispensable to our team. We love it when people proactively look for ways to become a key part of our organization.


Why an internship at Faundit?

It’s no secret that we have high expectations of our team members, and are dedicated to giving our team all the tools they need to become successful. As an intern, you can expect to become a real part of the team and have the freedom to define what projects you will be working on within the scope of our roadmap. You will be immersed in day-to-day operations with help of individual internship-buddies. We love it when interns come up with innovative projects that we can facilitate and support. We want to put a lot of effort into building you but it requires that you are ambitious yourself.


Your tasks will include:

  • Building API integrations.

  • Exploring new ways to manage our data.

  • Be a key part of our next development stage (serverless, deployment).

  • Exploring and building A/B testable performance improvements.

  • Think creatively about enhancements or improvements to our platform.

  • Coordinate with other team members to periodically review and prioritize projects.


What we’ll give ‘ya:

  • The chance to make your mark and put code in production.

  • A spot in a shared startup office space in Aarhus C with a great vibe.

  • A team of young and dedicated people ready to help you grow professionally while still enjoying a good Friday bar every now and th… Every week, almost every week.

  • Permission to reign free, although we will help define your goals and tasks.

  • Opportunity to learn from a team with vast experience - our CTO, Jonas Wideking, has many years of experience with the stack and worked for Designit, eBay, Louis Vuitton, and Carlsberg as an independent freelancer.


We’ll go nuts if you:

  • Have experience working on API integrations.

  • Are self-motivated, independent and have a problem-solving mindset.

  • Can take ownership of projects.

  • Have a general understanding of back-end methodology and principles as a whole.

  • Can work well on your own but couple back frequently to the team.
