Fullstack (Frontend) Engineering Internship - Content Experiences

THE ROLE & THE TEAM

Content Experiences is a growing multi-disciplinary group of 100+ engineers, data scientists, business developers, product designers, and product managers in Helsinki and Berlin, all working to revolutionise how Zalando connects with its customers. We’re building the future of personalised fashion experiences, going beyond transactions to inspire each individual customer with meaningful fashion moments. 

As a Frontend/Fullstack Engineer Intern in our Customer Experience team, you’ll gain hands-on experience building our creator management platform that supports operations for both internal users and our partners. The platform empowers users to engage Zalando customers more effectively by delivering relevant, fresh content at a rapid pace, providing a dynamic environment with lots of learning opportunities. 

While your primary focus will be crafting high-quality user interfaces using React and TypeScript, you will act as a bridge across the entire stack. You are encouraged to explore our backend and databases to understand how data flows through the platform and contribute to the full lifecycle of the features you build. This role is perfect for a frontend-leaning developer eager to learn how a complex system works from end to end.

This internship offers a unique opportunity to collaborate within a multidisciplinary team of engineers and shape the next chapter in the Zalando customer experience. Join us on this exciting journey and kickstart your career as a versatile, product-minded engineer!

We are looking for two fullstack engineering interns to join two teams in our Content Experience area.

WHAT WE’D LOVE YOU TO DO (AND LOVE DOING)
