Are you passionate about software development, eager to learn from experienced engineers, and want to help build the future of FinTech? Let’s talk! BridgeFund is looking for a talented and enthusiastic Software Engineering Intern to join our tech team in Amsterdam. Get ready to write code, solve problems, and contribute to a platform that helps entrepreneurs thrive!

🛠 What You’ll Be Doing (Your Code Playground!)

As our Software Engineering Intern, you’ll be part of an agile team and contribute directly to our product:

• Build & improve features: Contribute to designing, developing, testing, and deploying software for the BridgeFund platform.
• Write quality code: Craft clean, maintainable, and testable code (e.g., in Java, Python, TypeScript – depending on the team you join).
• Collaborate & learn: Participate actively in code reviews, pair programming sessions, and agile ceremonies like sprints and stand-ups.
• Solve technical puzzles: Help troubleshoot, debug issues, and find smart solutions to technical challenges.
• Explore our tech stack: Learn about our software architecture, databases, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and development practices.
• Work with a purpose: Partner closely with fellow engineers, product managers, and designers to bring innovative ideas to life.

👤 Who We’re Looking For (Your Profile)

• You’re currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related technical field.
• You have a solid understanding of software development fundamentals (like data structures, algorithms, object-oriented programming).
• You have some hands-on programming experience – whether from studies, projects, or previous internships (tell us what languages you know!).
• You’re a logical thinker and genuinely enjoy solving complex problems.
• You’re hungry to learn new technologies and best practices in software development.
• Any experience with Git, testing frameworks, or cloud platforms (like AWS/GCP/Azure) is a nice bonus!
• You can communicate your findings clearly (our company language is Dutch, but the data/tech teams often work in English too – strong English is needed).
• You’re a proactive team player with a positive, can-do attitude.

🎁 What You Get In Return (Code & Cool Perks!)

• 💸 An internship allowance of €500 gross per month (based on 40 hours).
• 🎓 Mentorship from senior engineers who are eager to share their knowledge, plus support for your thesis or university project.
• 💻 A great workspace in Amsterdam: Macbook, bright open spaces, quiet spots, table tennis, and definitely no boring system ceilings!
• 🍻 Legendary company events: From Friday drinks (‘VrijMiBo’s’) in our very own bar to awesome quarterly parties – we love to celebrate success!
• 🎵 Our own BridgeFun(d) bar: Fully equipped with a DJ booth, stage, and karaoke system for needed relaxation.
• ⛵ Company boat ‘The Royal Ted’: For unforgettable team trips cruising the Amsterdam canals (and yes, sometimes available for private use!).
• 🏃‍♂️ Sports activities: Join boxing classes, our running club, or other initiatives to stay active.
• 🍽 Lunch Join Program: Enjoy tasty lunches with colleagues – we cover 50% of the cost!
• 🥗 Free snacks & drinks: Always something delicious (healthy & less healthy 😉) within reach.
• 🚀 A fantastic opportunity to gain hands-on software engineering experience, work on a real FinTech product, and significantly boost your tech career.
