intern - ai & software engineering (f/m/d)

2 requirements, read out of the advert rather than guessed from the job title:

• APIs
• SQL

Also mentioned, not required: Elixir, Phoenix, English (B2). Worth having, but their absence is not what gets a CV filtered out.

See how often each of these is required across open backend roles in Europe.

Your mission The role is part of a 4-6 months full-time internship starting asap in one of our offices in Zug, Berlin or London (London only possible if you already hold a valid visa or right to work) We are looking for a highly motivated intern  - ai & software engineering (f/m/d)  to join redalpine and help build the technology that underpins how we invest.  In this role, you’ll take ideas from prototype to production in a fast-paced environment, contributing to core internal tooling, data pipelines, and intelligent automations. You’ll work at the intersection of venture capital and cutting-edge technology, helping to shape the systems that give us our edge. The position offers unique exposure to how a leading VC firm leverages data and AI in its investment processes and is ideal for someone who enjoys building, iterating quickly, and taking ownership in a dynamic environment.

Core Engineering:  Write clean, reliable code to build and maintain our internal software and data systems. You’ll contribute to backend services, data pipelines, and database structures that power our sourcing platform and other internal tooling.

Rapid Prototyping:  Quickly build and iterate on internal tools, experiments, and AI-driven features - from idea to usable prototype.

AI & Automation:  Leverage modern AI tools and APIs (e.g. LLMs) to automate workflows and improve internal processes. You’ll integrate existing tools and build lightweight solutions to solve practical problems.

Product-Oriented Thinking:  Work closely with non-technical team members to understand their workflows and challenges, and translate them into simple, effective technical solutions.

Tech Stack:  Our core systems are built with Elixir and Phoenix. You don’t need prior experience with Elixir -  strong software engineering fundamentals are what matter, and you’ll pick it up quickly.
