ABOUT CODESPHERE
Codesphere is a Virtual Cloud Provider from Germany building the future of sovereign cloud infrastructure. Our platform gives enterprises and governments full sovereignty without giving up modern cloud capability – a vision recently validated by a series of multi-million European government tenders.

- Take part in code reviews and technical design discussions, learning how we keep quality high.
- Work alongside experienced engineers on our collaborative developer cloud, across areas like Public API, IAM & Permissions, Secrets Management, CI integrations, Web IDE, deployment technology, monitoring, and managed services.
- Grow your skills through hands-on work, pairing, and regular feedback.
What makes you a great fit
- Passionate about technology and solid Computer Science fundamentals.
- Currently enrolled in a Computer Science or related degree program.
- Some hands-on experience through coursework, personal projects, internships, or open source - ideally touching web or distributed systems.
- Working knowledge of TypeScript and/or Go.
- Basic understanding of SQL databases and an interest in APIs, microservices, and distributed systems.
- Professional proficiency in English.
- Strong communication skills, openness to feedback, and a structured approach to problem-solving.
- Located in Munich or Karlsruhe
What sets you apart
- Exposure to cloud infrastructure, ideally cloud-native.
- Familiarity with React and/or Kubernetes.
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU
- Steep learning curve – fast-moving environment, real ownership, and a front-row seat to scaling a company
- Study-first flexibility – easily adjust your working hours around lectures and exam periods, combined with our hybrid work setup
- Long-term perspective – we focus on lasting relationships and aim to bring you on board permanently after graduation
- Gym access – stay active on site (Karlsruhe office only)
