Software Engineering Intern (Full-Stack)

About the Role

As a Software Engineering Intern at SANOVIO, you’ll get hands-on experience building the AI-powered procurement infrastructure that tackles one of the biggest and most complex cost problems in European healthcare.

This is a fast-paced, hands-on role for aspiring engineers with high agency, strong technical curiosity, and a builder mindset. We’re looking for a full-stack generalist with a frontend affinity. You’re eager to design user flows and implement them in React and TypeScript, while learning to own outcomes end-to-end across backend, data, AI-enabled workflows, and cloud deployment. You thrive amid uncertainty, move quickly, and care deeply about writing clean, high-quality code.

If you are a passionate builder who thrives at the intersection of full-stack development and AI, this is your opportunity to work directly with the founders, contribute to a real product, and grow rapidly in a startup scaling toward €10M ARR in 2026.
