The essence of the role

We are growing rapidly and are constantly looking for skilled engineers. Doing an internship project at Sinch can be a first step towards becoming a fulltime "Sincher" or it can be a steppingstone for your career.

We have a number of different ideas on projects! Let us know which one(s) you are interested in. We are happy to discuss our ideas further and are always open to iterate and improve them.

To support you in your project you will have a supervisor from Sinch side who is chosen depending on the area of the project. We offer compensation after completing the project.
