Summer Internship - Backend Engineer (f/m/x)

HEY THERE!

We are Mercedes-Benz.io. Our mission is to ignite and build the digital solutions for Mercedes-Benz by forming a tribe of digital enthusiasts that drive Mercedes-Benz digital future.

Therefore, we offer you flexibility! You can choose to work from our office in Lisbon, or remotely from any location in Mainland Portugal. Nonetheless, our tribe is our beating heart so we often organize company events and gatherings to bring MB.ioneers together. While some are optional, we would require your presence for certain team events and/or occasions.

We don’t care about your shoes, as long as you are wearing the right attitude. At Mercedes-Benz.io we walk the talk and make things happen. We do not digitize for the sake of being digital but for a better tomorrow for our customers. That’s not our job; it’s our passion.

We share the same beliefs and stand up for each other and this is why we hire unique people to join our Tribe of digital enthusiasts.
