Location: Copenhagen (Hybrid)

Type: Internship / Student Assistant

Start Date: Flexible (Fall 2025 preferred)

Language: Danish or English

About the Role

Are you a curious and resourceful developer looking to explore what it’s really like to build software for real users — not just for school projects?

We’re looking for a Programming Intern to join us at BirdsAtFive, where we’re building Birdie — an AI-powered platform for B2B marketing teams.

This isn’t a "watch-and-learn" type internship. You’ll take ownership of projects, move fast, and contribute directly to building and shaping our product.

Most of your work will focus on rapid prototyping — short 1–2 week sprints where you’ll test out new ideas, small tools, or proof-of-concepts. But since we’re a small startup, you’ll also get involved in backend programming, testing, and research — all the technical work that helps us move forward.

If you want to be a software engineer and are excited by the idea of building, experimenting, and taking responsibility, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

• Work directly with the founders to prototype new product ideas

• Build standalone mini-tools, web apps, or MVPs to test specific hypotheses

• Take on ad-hoc technical tasks such as backend development, testing, and research

• Help us figure out things like:

  • Would users actually use this AI feature?

  • Is this layout more intuitive?

  • What happens when we add this new input method?

• Run projects in focused 1–2 week sprints, inspired by Google Sprint & Lean Startup methodology

• Use whatever lightweight tools get the job done — React, Flask, Python, AI agents, or even no-code when appropriate

• Present your builds and findings to the team and participate in feedback sessions

• Contribute to real product development alongside experiments

  
  

What We’re Looking For

• A student (bachelor’s or master’s) in software development or computer science or similar

• Strong generalist developer skills — you can build simple apps, fast, on your own

• Knowledge of JavaScript, Python, or similar — and a willingness to experiment

• Comfortable using AI tools (e.g. OpenAI APIs, N8N, small LLM agents) or excited to learn

• A self-starter — you’re not afraid to explore vague ideas and turn them into something real

• Someone who wants to become a software engineer and is serious about building

• Excited about the idea of testing and validating ideas in a real startup

• Bonus: You’ve built something on your own before (a side project, a tool, anything really)

  
  

Why This Internship is Different

Most internships are about learning how to fit into a company. This one is about learning how to build something people want.

You’ll:

• Work closely with the founders and CTO

• Be trusted to lead small projects from start to finish

• Take on real engineering work, not just side tasks

• Learn how to validate product ideas through experiments

• Gain exposure to both product strategy and technical execution

• Explore what it’s like to work in a high-speed startup setting

  
  

Practical Info

• Paid internship (part-time or full-time depending on your studies)

• Work from our office in Copenhagen, with some flexibility

• Duration: 3–6 months or ongoing student assistant position

• Start date is flexible — we’re collecting interest now
