About the role
As our AI-Driven Frontend Intern, you'll help our engineering teams keep the product fast, clean, and reliable to build on. By fixing well-scoped bugs, chipping away at frontend tech debt, and rotating across teams to support real project deliveries, you'll help Trengo ship a better experience to the thousands of businesses that rely on us, and contribute directly to how we grow.
About Trengo
Welcome to the forefront of AI-driven communication. At Trengo, we’re redefining the industry by replacing repetitive work with meaningful conversations through our AI-powered customer engagement platform. We unify communication channels and leverage agentic AI to deliver proactive, human-like service, boosting efficiency for thousands of businesses worldwide.
As a fast-moving Dutch scale-up, backed by a $36M Series A and an official WhatsApp Business Solutions Provider, we thrive on acceleration. Your expertise will drive growth: you’ll make a strategic impact, champion AI innovation, and help shape the product roadmap. You’ll do this alongside an international team guided by our Dynamic pace, Future-proof mindset, Ownership, and Open culture.
WHAT YOUR ROLE LOOKS LIKE:
-
Fix real, well-scoped bugs in our frontend, each one pre-triaged with clear boundaries and reviewed by a senior engineer, so you ship with confidence from day one.
-
Tackle bite-sized pieces of our frontend tech debt and improvement work, turning a large cleanup effort into steady, visible progress.
-
Rotate across our engineering teams, joining a few project deliveries to see how each one works and where you fit best.
-
Lean on AI-powered coding tools (especially Claude Code, alongside Cursor and Codex) to speed up your coding and problem-solving, and pick up the prompting techniques behind AI-augmented development.
-
Question the awkward steps and "why is it this way?" gaps that experience tends to gloss over. Your fresh perspective is part of the value you bring.
