Internship at Netlight

Join our Helsinki team as a Netlight consultant for the summer to help drive innovative digital projects together with clients and colleagues.

In the summer project, you will be helping our client – a business or an NGO – build something new. You will have the opportunity to participate in every phase of the software development lifecycle. This includes designing robust software architectures, developing innovative AI solutions, deploying scalable cloud platforms, and creating user-friendly web applications.

- Real responsibilities and work for an external client with full ownership of the project
- Support and guidance from a professional coach, a personal mentor, and colleagues across our global network
- Opportunities to explore modern technologies
Knowledge sharing sessions and fun across the global community
