What we’re offering

An unpaid software engineering internship for motivated students or early-career engineers who want hands-on experience building travel-facing web features and a portfolio of shipped work. This is a practical, mentorship-driven position ideal for those seeking real product-building experience.

Location: Remote

Duration: 3–6 months (flexible)

Hours: ~10–20 hours/week (flexible around school)

Compensation:

This is an unpaid internship. Instead of financial compensation, you will gain:

  • Hands-on industry experience working on real-world projects.
  • Mentorship and guidance from the Stovo team.
  • Opportunities to ship features visible to users.
  • A stronger portfolio (code contributions, live demos, shipped features).
  • A professional reference upon successful completion.

What you’ll work on

  • Help implement and improve user-facing features for Stovo’s web experience: search & results, stopover comparisons, visa-lookup flows, and destination pages.
  • Build small end-to-end features: UI, data fetching, and integration with our demo/back-end endpoints.
  • Improve site performance, accessibility, and cross-browser reliability.
  • Write clean, testable code and ship small, iterative releases.
  • Collaborate with the founders/product designers; participate in code reviews and product discussions.

What we’re looking for

  • Education Requirement: Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in a technology-related field (e.g., Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related discipline).
  • Comfortable writing front-end code (HTML/CSS/JavaScript). Experience with React/Remix or similar is a plus.
  • Basic understanding of HTTP, REST APIs, and asynchronous data fetching.
  • Familiarity with Git and collaborative workflows.
  • Curious, ownership mindset, strong communication, and eagerness to learn.
  • Currently enrolled in a degree program or recently graduated (preferred but not required).

Why join Stovo?

  • Mentorship from a small, product-focused team.
  • Real product impact — your work will be visible to users and part of the public demo.
  • Portfolio pieces (feature PRs, demo links) and a reference at internship completion.
  • Flexible hours and remote work.
