Ready to turn code into real impact?

Are you an ambitious student ready to combine a research assignment with hands-on experience in a dynamic FinTech environment? At BridgeFund, we offer you the opportunity to dive deep and contribute directly to our fast-growing platform.

 
What are you going to do?
As a Software Engineering Graduate Intern, you will become a member of our diverse tech team. You will have the unique opportunity to put theory directly into practice, resulting in a valuable combination of research and hands-on development.

1. Your Research Assignment

In consultation with our Engineering Team, you will define and carry out an in-depth, impactful technical research assignment. We are flexible and happy to help you find a topic that perfectly matches your academic interests and our technological roadmap.
Possible research domains:

• Strategies and implementation within AWS/GCP.

• Focus on CI/CD and Automated Testing.

• Research and pilot a new language or framework

2. Practical Contribution
In addition to your research, you will directly apply your acquired knowledge by actively contributing to our product. This ensures that your ideas have a direct impact.

This is what you will do:

• Write high-quality, scalable, and maintainable code.

• Detecting, analysing and solving technical challenges and bugs.

• Actively helping with programming our platform and writing high-quality code.

In short, you will conduct your research with direct support from experienced Senior Engineers, and the focus will be on converting your findings into actual improvements for our platform.

Who We're Looking For

• 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.

• You're a logical thinker and genuinely enjoy solving complex problems.

• You're hungry to learn new technologies and best practices in software development.

• Experience with Git, testing frameworks, or cloud platforms (like AWS/GCP/Azure) is a plus

• You can communicate your findings clearly – strong English is needed.

• You're a proactive team player with a positive, can-do attitude.

What You'll Get in Return

• An internship allowance of €500 gross per month (based on 40 hours).

• Mentorship from senior engineers and support for your thesis or university project.

• A great workspace in Amsterdam: MacBook, bright open spaces, quiet spots, and more.

• Legendary company events, from VrijMiBo's in our own bar to awesome quarterly parties.

• Our own BridgeFun(d) bar with DJ booth, stage, and karaoke system.

• Company boat 'The Royal Ted' for unforgettable team trips on the canals.

• Sports activities like boxing classes and a running club.

• Lunch Join Program: enjoy tasty lunches – 50% on us

• Free snacks & drinks: always something (un)healthy within reach.

• A fantastic opportunity to gain hands-on engineering experience and boost your tech career.

A special internship, because...

BridgeFund is a club of stubborn and sometimes slightly impatient go-getters who want to make a social impact. Ambitious, positive rebels who work hard but don't take themselves too seriously. An alliance of like-minded people, committed to the same mission: to show that a bank-free world is easier, more efficient, fairer and therefore more fun. What do we do? We build a digital bridge between the idle capital of successful entrepreneurs and working capital for ambitious entrepreneurs. Using human-centred artificial intelligence, we create a circular system that allows money to find the right place quickly, easily and intelligently. And just like entrepreneurs, we are not interested in money. It is merely a tool for doing business.
