Working Student Engineering

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.
