Full-stack/Rails and APP developer (internship)

Gigstarter is continuously improving its concept and its applications, used by thousands of artists and bookers every month. We are a fast-growing, international startup in which you'll be able to learn a lot (also outside the IT domain) and can really have meaningful impact. That's why we're in search of a creative FS developer to enrich our team. Preferably you study informatics or a derivative. Start dates are flexible and if needed a research project can be executed in house. The internship can start immediately.

You will spend your time on the development of the application where are building (IOS / Android). In addition, we will be asked to develop front & back-end of new web-features. Back-end and Ruby on Rails (or alike, say Django) experience therefore is a must. Our preference goes to a full-time work internship so that you can immerse yourself fully, but can – depending on your ambitions or scholar obligations – be combined with a research project.

We have plenty of data, interactions and extensions/projects on the shelve that could be combined with scientific research. E.g. Machine learning related to our matchmaking applications; the architecture of an open API for 3rd party plugins within our ecosystem and conversion optimisation from artist acquisition to booking review. After a successful internship there might be an opportunity for a side-job in combination with your further studies or a career opportunity depending on your abilities, aspirations and fit within the team.

We are looking for someone who is/has:

  • Experience with Ruby on Rails (or a comparable framework)
  • Comfortable working with HTML, CSS and javascript
  • Experience on app development
  • 4th year or master student (preferably)
  • Autonomous
  • Available to work on-site in Amsterdam

The following is nice to have:

  • Passion for live music
  • Experience with Git
  • Experience with React

At Gigstarter you'll find:

  • A nice project where you'll have the opportunity to develop yourself
  • A small and international team
  • An office in the heart of Amsterdam.
  • A connection with the live music industry
  • Option for a (side)job after the internship
  • At Gigstarter we love parties, so expect Friday-afternoon drinks
