Software Engineer Internship (HPI Students)
Posted
Summary
HPI students join Taktile's engineering teams in Berlin for a 6-month internship starting April 2027, shipping real features on backend (Python/FastAPI, AWS serverless) or frontend (React/TypeScript) products that help banks and fintechs automate credit, fraud, and compliance decisions.
- Banks and fintechs use Taktile to automate critical decisions, like credit, fraud, and compliance, in real time
- We’re building the infrastructure that makes financial institutions truly AI-native, and we’ve partnered with the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI), a leading computer science institute in Europe, to offer a dedicated opportunity designed only for HPI students
- Starting in April 2027, you’ll join one of our engineering teams for 6 months in Berlin and ship real features, with experienced engineers mentoring you along the way. Several HPI alumni already work here, from early-career engineers to senior engineers leading major parts of our product
- This program is tailored for Computer Science students eager to gain hands-on industry experience while building the foundations for a world-class engineering career
- If you have strong engineering fundamentals and want to grow fast in a team where what you build reaches customers soon after you ship it, we’d love to hear from you
- Depending on your final team, either work on backend components written in Python / FastAPI, hosted on an AWS serverless architecture, or work on React/Typescript front-end components, or a combination of both!
- Engage actively in team rituals such as daily syncs, planning sessions, demos, and technical deep-dive discussions
- Grow as an individual and accelerate your career by learning from our experienced team, contributing to a foundational layer of the product, and joining cross-team learning groups
- Availability for a 6-month full-time internship
- Strong engineering fundamentals with a passion for simplicity and precision
- Fluency in English, both written and spoken, is essential as we operate in a remote environment requiring clear and effective communication
- Fantastic Computer Science fundamentals. Data structures, algorithms, networking, distributed systems, databases, and everything in between!
- We’re eager to meet talented and driven candidates regardless of whether they tick all the boxes
- Exposure to AWS, especially Lambda
- Experience with frontend development - React or similar frameworks
