How We Work
This is an onsite internship in our Dublin 15 (Ballycoolin Business Park) office. It’s a full-time, fixed-term internship (10 weeks, starting 1st July).

- Learn and apply modern mobile architecture patterns and best practices.
- Collaborate with product, design, QA, and other engineers in a globally distributed team.
About You

- Understanding of basic software engineering principles, version control, clean code, and testing fundamentals.
Skills
- Curiosity about AI-assisted development and willingness to adopt AI as part of your daily workflow.
- Strong problem-solving mindset and willingness to ask questions.
- Good communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative environment.
- Nice to have:
- Personal, academic, or open-source mobile projects.
- Exposure to SwiftUI, UIKit, Kotlin, or modern Android frameworks.
- Experience using AI coding assistants.
Personal Attributes
- Proactive and eager to learn.
- Organised and detail-oriented.
- Comfortable working onsite and supporting others in person.
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-tech environment and manage multiple tasks.
What’s Next
Your CV will be reviewed together by the recruiter and hiring manager to assess your skills, interests, and how your experience aligns with the internship. If shortlisted, you will be called to interview after completing an AI home assignment.
Important Application Note – When you apply, please include your current city and country and let us know your work status (e.g. visa status, right to work in Ireland, etc.).
