About the Role

📱 SumUp Accelerator – Mobile Engineering Intern (Android / iOS)

Build AI-powered products that impact millions of small businesses.

At SumUp, we build fintech solutions that empower over 4 million merchants across 37 markets to run and grow their businesses. Every day, this generates rich payments and business data — and SumUp's next-gen AI tools turn that data into practical insights and intelligent tools that create real merchant value.

This is not a traditional internship. From day one, you'll join a product squad, contribute to shared codebases, and ship production code used by merchants every day.

📍 Location: Central London
🕒 Duration: 3 months, starting 15th June (Full time)

🎯Starting Salary: £32,500
