Full-stack developer Internship

Gigstarter is continuously improving its concept and its applications, used by thousands of artists and bookers every month. We are a fast-growing, international startup in which you'll be able to learn a lot, develop systems that have a real life impact. . That's why we're in search of a creative FS developer to enrich our team. Preferably you study software development, engineering, information technology or similar. Start dates are flexible, and there is the opportunity to combine it with a thesis or research project. The internship can start as early as immediately.

Your main task will be to develop and maintain the Gigstarter website application (available for all our different domains). This work involves a mix of front-end and back-end tasks and creative problem solving skills. The Gigstarter application stack is built in ruby on rails, so previous experience in Ruby on Rails is a bonus but not a requirement. Most important is a willingness to learn, apply creative problem solving skills and be self-driven and independent. Our preference goes to a full-time work internship so that you can immerse yourself fully, but can – depending on your ambitions or scholar obligations – be combined with a research project/thesis. After a successful internship there might be an opportunity for a side-job in combination with your further studies or a career opportunity depending on your abilities, aspirations and fit within the team. In addition we have various other opportunities and applications in development which require innovative solutions using machine learning and AI.

  • Experience with React, Ruby on Rails (big plus!)
  • Knowledge of HTML/CSS and Javascript (Bootstrap is a plus!)
  • Experience developing mobile-responsive apps (nice to have)
  • 4th year or master student (preferably)

  • Autonomous
  • Available to work on-site in Amsterdam

The following is nice to have:

At Gigstarter you'll find:

  • A nice project where you'll have the opportunity to develop yourself
  • A small and international team
  • An office in the heart of Amsterdam.
  • A connection with the live music industry
  • Option for a (side)job after the internship
