Member of Technical Staff (MTS) Intern (m/f/d)

We don't expect you to arrive knowing German tax law. We do expect you to be curious, technically strong, and excited to understand a complex domain.

What You'll Work On

• Production Engineering. Design, build, test, and deploy software that supports real accounting and tax workflows.
• Applied AI. Build with LLMs, retrieval systems, document intelligence, and agentic workflows while learning where deterministic logic and human oversight are required.
• Product Development. Work closely with engineers, operators, and tax professionals to understand problems, prototype solutions, and iterate based on real-world feedback.
• Data & Integrations. Build APIs, data pipelines, and integrations across modern and legacy systems.
• Reliability & Evaluation. Help develop tests, evaluations, monitoring, and feedback loops that make our systems dependable in high-stakes workflows.
• End-to-end Ownership. Take a clearly scoped problem from exploration and system design through implementation, deployment, and continuous improvement.

Your Profile

• You are a strong builder. You have created software beyond standard coursework — through personal projects, open-source contributions, previous internships, research, or an ambitious university project. We value exceptional technical work over a specific educational path.
• You have strong technical foundations. You are comfortable with data structures, algorithms, databases, APIs, and modern software-development practices.
• You have high agency. You make progress without perfectly defined requirements, ask sharp questions, and take responsibility for getting to a working result.
• You think like an engineer. You write clear, maintainable code and think about testing, reliability, security, edge cases, and failure modes — not only the happy path.
• You are AI-native. You use modern AI tools in your work and ideally have hands-on experience building with LLMs, agents, retrieval systems, or other applied AI technologies.
• You have strong product intuition. You want to understand the user and the underlying problem instead of implementing requirements mechanically.
• You communicate clearly in English. German is helpful, particularly for projects involving direct collaboration with our tax advisory teams, but is not required for every project.

Why Limetax

• Real responsibility. Own a meaningful technical problem rather than completing artificial internship assignments.
• Real production environments. Work with operational workflows, documents, transactions, and domain knowledge from established accounting and tax firms.
• Close mentorship. Build alongside experienced engineers and receive direct feedback on system design, implementation, and product decisions.
• Fast feedback loops. See how users interact with what you build and improve it based on real-world results.
• Modern engineering. Work with contemporary infrastructure, AI-assisted development tools, and an AI-native engineering culture.
• Early-stage impact. Help shape the systems and engineering practices that will define how Limetax scales.
• Path to a full-time role. We see the internship as a potential starting point for joining Limetax after graduation.
• Competitive compensation. Receive a competitive internship salary, with relocation support considered where appropriate.
