Cologne, Germany (Hybrid)
Team: Engineering · Reports to: CTO · Format: Working Student (16–20h/week) or Internship (3–6 months)
Keep the world awake - build the platform thousands of DevOps teams rely on
ilert helps thousands of DevOps &amp; IT teams detect, fix, and communicate incidents faster. When a critical system goes down, our platform is the "source of truth" — from the resilient backend that processes thousands of events per second to the fast, intuitive frontend engineers stare at under pressure.
We are looking for a Working Student or Intern who loves building software and doesn't want to be boxed into a single layer of the stack. Whether you lean frontend, backend, or full-stack, you'll ship production code that powers a mission-critical SaaS product. We match projects to your strengths and our business needs — and we're happy to help you grow in whichever direction excites you most.
<h2>Tasks</h2>
<ul>
<li>Ship End-to-End Features: Build user-facing features with React and TypeScript, the backend APIs behind them, or both.</li>
<li>Backend &amp; Scale: Help design robust APIs and data pipelines in our backend stack (we mainly use Java and Rust) and work with distributed systems like Kafka and ClickHouse.</li>
<li>Frontend &amp; Craft: Contribute to our modular component library and help keep the UI fast, accessible, and rock-solid when customers need it most.</li>
<li>Flexible Project Scope: From core alerting logic to integrations (Slack, MS Teams, Jira) to AI-powered SRE features — we'll match the work to your interests.</li>
<li>Quality &amp; Reliability: Write tests and care about clean, maintainable code on a platform where downtime isn't an option.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Requirements</h2>
<ul>
<li>Current Student: Enrolled in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Informatics, or a related technical field.</li>
<li>Coding Foundation: Hands-on experience with at least one part of our stack — React/TypeScript on the frontend and/or a backend language like Java, Go, Rust, Python, or Node.js.</li>
<li>CS Fundamentals: A solid grasp of data structures, algorithms, and how web applications fit together (APIs, databases, Git).</li>
<li>Engineering Mindset: You value clean, maintainable code and are eager to learn how a professional SaaS product is built, tested, and deployed at scale.</li>
<li>Curiosity &amp; Builder Mentality: Bonus points for side projects, open source, or anything you've built and shipped — backend, frontend, or AI.</li>
<li>Language: Fluent English (our working language).</li>
</ul>
<h2>Benefits</h2>
<ul>
<li>🚀 High Impact: Your code helps engineers at companies worldwide stay calm and efficient during incidents.</li>
<li>🧭 Pick Your Path: Explore frontend, backend, or full-stack — and find what you love before you graduate.</li>
<li>🏡 Hybrid Freedom: Experience our beautiful office in Cologne Rheinauhafen (3 days/week) and work from home (2 days/week).</li>
<li>🕒 Student-Centric: Flexible hours that work around your lectures and exam periods.</li>
<li>🎓 Elite Mentorship: Work directly with experienced engineers who love to share what they know.</li>
<li>🌴 Focus Culture: We protect "maker time," favor async communication, and keep meeting overhead low.</li>
</ul>
We hire for talent and a "builder" mentality, not just a checklist. If you have a GitHub repo or a project you're proud of — a slick UI, a fast API, or an AI experiment that connects to the real world — we definitely want to see it!
