Software Engineering Intern (Full-Stack) at SANOVIO GmbH – Munich | Jobyssey

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

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:

A take-home exercise, including a short presentation
A system design interview

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!
