About the Role
As a Software Engineering Intern at SANOVIO, you’ll get hands-on experience building the AI-powered procurement infrastructure that tackles one of the biggest and most complex cost problems in European healthcare.
This is a fast-paced, hands-on role for aspiring engineers with high agency, strong technical curiosity, and a builder mindset. We’re looking for a full-stack generalist with a frontend affinity. You’re eager to design user flows and implement them in React and TypeScript, while learning to own outcomes end-to-end across backend, data, AI-enabled workflows, and cloud deployment. You thrive amid uncertainty, move quickly, and care deeply about writing clean, high-quality code.
If you are a passionate builder who thrives at the intersection of full-stack development and AI, this is your opportunity to work directly with the founders, contribute to a real product, and grow rapidly in a startup scaling toward €10M ARR in 2026.
Tasks
-
Contributing to end-to-end product workflows, from frontend UX to backend systems, data pipelines, and edge cases
-
Building frontend experiences in React and TypeScript alongside scalable, reliable backend systems
-
Supporting the design and development of AI-enabled systems, including embeddings, retrieval, and agents that create real operational leverage
-
Working on data pipelines for large-scale unstructured data
-
Making pragmatic technical decisions on architecture, tools, and frameworks to balance speed and quality
-
Deploying and maintaining software in cloud environments with a “you ship it, you run it” mindset
-
Writing clean, maintainable, and well-tested code with scalable, reusable components and APIs
-
Collaborating across the stack and learning through code reviews, pair programming, and mentorship from senior engineers
Requirements
We are looking for ambitious engineering students or recent graduates with a strong foundation in software engineering and a genuine interest in AI. We hire for skill, ownership, and output.
General Profile
-
Generalist mindset with a frontend affinity, eager to build across backend, data, and AI
-
Proactive and self-driven, able to turn unclear requirements into shipped software
-
Fast learner who picks up new technologies and frameworks quickly
-
Comfortable iterating closely with users and clients, including across different cultures
-
Strong problem-solving ability and attention to detail
-
Motivated to build excellent software in a fast-paced startup environment

Backend engineering skills, ideally with Node.js, and familiarity with APIs and data modeling
-
Experience building software projects (academic, personal, or professional)
-
Familiarity with Docker and cloud environments is a plus
-
AI experience is a plus, especially embeddings and retrieval, structured outputs and tool calling, evals, and agentic workflows beyond prompt engineering
Communication & Ownership
-
You take initiative and enjoy taking responsibility for your work
-
You communicate clearly and are comfortable interacting with technical stakeholders and clients
-
You actively seek feedback and want to improve rapidly
Bonus if you
-
Can share a portfolio of projects, shipped products, or a GitHub with meaningful work

About the interview process
Step 1: Intro Call
Casual intro meeting with one of the founders to get to know each other and introduce SANOVIO.
Step 2: Technical Interview
The technical interview consists of two parts
For the take-home exercise, we’ll provide you with a task focusing on a real SANOVIO workflow and user flow in React and TypeScript, with a light end-to-end angle such as API integration, data modeling, edge cases, and clean architecture. Later, you’ll present your results to us.
Step 3: Personal Fit
Meet another co-founder to get a feel for our culture and working style.
Step 4: Offer
If we see a great fit, you’ll receive an offer.
We’re excited to see your application and get to know you!
