Working Student Engineering

Other

• This isn’t your regular job. Almedia is a place where those who want to push harder can accelerate their careers faster than anywhere else. We’re aiming to become Germany’s second bootstrapped unicorn. Almedia is already Europe’s #3 fastest-growing company in 2025 (FT1000).
• We are building the future of marketing by rewarding our community of over 70 million users for engaging with our advertisers’ products. We are offering a new way to acquire users for the biggest companies in the world.
• We're looking for an Engineering Working Student to join the founding engineering team building Link, Almedia's newest product. This is a unique opportunity to work directly alongside the Director of Engineering and a small, high-caliber team from the ground up.
• (Part-time • 1-year contract)
• An engineering student who wants real product exposure, not a checkbox internship.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and a fast-moving early-stage environment.
• Ambitious - you want to be the person who knows the product inside out.
• Support Partner Onboarding: Ensure technical setups are functional, verify metrics, and maintain accurate database entries as Link scales its partner network.
• Own Testing & QA: We'll literally pay you to play mobile games - bonus awaits if you break them (or our systems) in interesting ways. That's basically QA here: you'll own functional testing across our product, mobile included, and build a sharp instinct for catching issues before users ever see them.
• Enable the Engineering Team: Support team members with setup tasks and day-to-day technical needs so they can stay focused on higher-complexity work.
• Build Better Workflows: Continuously improve and automate the operational processes you own, reducing manual overhead as the product matures.
• Programming Opportunities: As you grow, you'll get chances to contribute hands-on to programming work alongside the team.
• Grow Your Technical Depth: Work closely with the Director of Engineering and the founding team, with exposure to how a technical product is built and scaled from early stage.
• Engineering Curiosity: You're studying engineering or a related field and are drawn to how systems work in practice.
• Reliability: You do repetitive tasks well and consistently, without complaining. The team needs to be able to depend on you for the (un)glamorous work that keeps the product running.
• Initiative & Backbone: You ask hard questions, push back when something doesn't make sense, and take ownership without needing to be chased.
• Technical Aptitude: Familiarity with JavaScript or TypeScript is a plus - but attitude and aptitude matter far more than your current stack.
• Availability: Able to commit to at least a year in the role.
• Scale With Almedia: Grow alongside a startup that has been profitable from day one.
• Central Berlin Office: Work from a fully-stocked modern office built for collaboration, accessible from all around Berlin.
• Clear Path Forward: Strong performers move into a junior developer role at the end of the engagement.
• We believe in fostering talent, evaluating all skill levels during the hiring process, and providing a clear path for growth. Almedia is an equal opportunity employer. We embrace and celebrate diversity, and encourage individuals from all backgrounds to apply.
