About This Role
About Beakwise
Beakwise is an R&D and product company building enterprise-grade software platforms for large organizations. Financial services is our primary focus today (insurance, banking, payments), and our ambition is broader: to become a trusted software and technology products vendor for large enterprises across industries.
Istanbul is our headquarters and a key R&D engineering hub, and we're hiring engineers who want to build real systems, set standards, and shape how the team works.
The opportunity
This is a hands-on engineering internship for students who want to build platforms that must be fast, secure, observable, and reliable.
You'll work on:
- Customer-facing applications (portals, dashboards, workflow tools)
- Backend services and APIs (microservices, integrations, high-traceability operations)
- Platforms where performance, resilience, and operational calm actually matter
Required Qualifications
Requirements (must have)
- Currently a 3rd- or 4th-year student at a reputable university in Istanbul
- Available to commit to the internship for at least 3 months
- Able to work from the office at least 1 day per week (2 days preferred)
- Able to consistently dedicate at least 20 hours per week
- Proficiency in a backend programming language, as well as a frontend programming language and its frameworks (for example Vue.js or React)
- Solid understanding of REST APIs and relational databases
- Comfortable with Git, code reviews, and modern development workflows
- English is required (written and spoken)
- Turkish is required (written and spoken)
Big plus
Any of the below is a strong advantage:
- Grasp of the Rust programming language is a big plus
- Microservices and integration-heavy enterprise platforms
- Docker and Kubernetes; cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- Experience building systems in complex domains such as:
- Insurance
- Banking
- Payments / PSP ecosystems (authorization, settlement, disputes, reconciliation, merchant onboarding)
- Automotive and mobility (dealer networks, fleet, financing, aftersales workflows)
Key Responsibilities
What you'll do
- Build and ship features end-to-end (UI, API, database) with a product mindset
- Design clean APIs and integration contracts
- Write maintainable code with tests, reviews, and sensible engineering discipline
- Improve performance and reliability, and keep production predictable
- Collaborate with distributed teams and contribute to architectural decisions
- Help shape engineering standards and culture as part of the Istanbul engineering team
Tech stack (what you will touch)
Our stack evolves, but you can expect work across:
- Frontend: Vue.js, Nuxt (React experience is also welcome)
- Backend: Rust (strong plus), plus modern backend patterns and services
- Data: PostgreSQL / MySQL
- Delivery: Git, CI/CD, containerization (Docker), cloud-native practices
What We Offer
What we offer
- Global collaboration with experienced engineers across regions
- Challenging work: real integrations, real scale, real operational constraints
- A long-term team and platform mindset (we build, we improve, we own)
How to apply
Please share:
- Your CV/resume
- A link to GitHub, portfolio, or shipped work (if available)
- Optional: a short note on what you built that you are proud of and why
