The world's DevOps teams rely on the platform you help build
ilert is the go-to platform for DevOps teams looking to detect, fix, and communicate incidents faster. When a critical system fails, our platform serves as the "source of truth" — from the resilient backend that processes thousands of events per second to the intuitive frontend that customers can instantly understand.
We are dedicated to empowering software developers with the tools they need to succeed. Whether you have a passion for building the frontend, backend, or full-stack, we match projects to your strengths and help you grow in whichever direction excites you most.
Tasks
- Ship End-to-End Features: Build user-facing features using React and TypeScript, the backend APIs behind them, or both.
- Backend & Scale: Help design robust APIs and data pipelines in our backend stack (we primarily use Java and Rust) and work with distributed systems like Kafka and ClickHouse.
- Frontend & Craft: Contribute to our modular component library and help keep the UI fast, accessible, and rock-solid when customers need it most.
- Flexible Project Scope: From core alerting logic to integrations (Slack, MS Teams, Jira) to AI-powered SRE features — we match the work to your interests.
- Quality & Reliability: Write tests and care about clean, maintainable code on a platform where downtime isn't an option.
Requirements
- Current Student: Enrolled in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Informatics, or a related technical field.
- Coding Foundation: Hands-on experience with at least one part of our stack — React/TypeScript on the frontend and/or a backend language like Java, Go, Rust, Python, or Node.js.
- CS Fundamentals: A solid grasp of data structures, algorithms, and how web applications fit together (APIs, databases, Git).
- Engineering Mindset: You value clean, maintainable code and are eager to learn how a professional SaaS product is built, tested, and deployed at scale.
- Curiosity & Builder Mentality: Bonus points for side projects, open source, or anything you've built and shipped — backend, frontend, or AI.
- Language: Fluent English (our working language).
Benefits
- 🚀 High Impact: Your code helps engineers at companies worldwide stay calm and efficient during incidents.
- 🧭 Pick Your Path: Explore frontend, backend, or full-stack — and find what you love before you graduate.
- 🏡 Hybrid Freedom: Experience our beautiful office in Cologne Rheinauhafen (3 days/week) and work from home (2 days/week).
- 🕒 Student-Centric: Flexible hours that work around your lectures and exam periods.
- 🎓 Elite Mentorship: Work directly with experienced engineers who love to share what they know.
- 🌴 Focus Culture: We protect "maker time," favor async communication, and keep meeting overhead low.
We hire for talent and a "builder" mentality, not just a checklist. If you have a GitHub repo or a project you're proud of — a slick UI, a fast API, or an AI experiment that connects to the real world — we definitely want to see it!
