Join our fast-growing 🚀 tech company that is redefining the future of connecting skills and work globally! At blackbear, you will impact the way work is outsourced by companies while being part of an ambitious, hardworking pack of bears. Are you ready to pull out your claws as a product Intern?

Little bear about us 🐻

A typical bear is open, unique, people-oriented, and passionate. We offer companies the digital solution to output-driven outsourcing. With our product, we enable Solvers to generate an income remotely. We guarantee companies that our Solvers deliver a high-quality result on their projects and motivate this by paying Solvers for delivered output instead of hours worked.

We have a beautiful, large office where we love meeting each other, but hybrid working is definitely an option within blackbear.

Having such an ambitious and adaptable team of colleagues means that there is always a great internal project to work on or a process to improve. We offer you the opportunity to create a meaningful impact on what blackbear will become over the next few years.

All our bears work with complete passion and dedication towards reaching the same goal: To turn blackbear into the most awesome product in the world. Together we’ll make it happen. By working hard and celebrating our successes, we will turn blackbear into the go-to solution for hassle-free outsourcing on a global scale – that’s the blackbear mindset.
