Long-Term Software Engineering Intern (Frontend-Heavy / 3–6 Months)

Istanbul-based B2B software company hiring a Long-Term Software Engineering Intern for 3–6 months. Focus on modern frontend (React / Next.js / TypeScript) with API/backend integrations, structured 1:1 mentorship and B1–B2 English. Hybrid work.

Makrops builds enterprise software, SaaS platforms, mobile applications and digital twin solutions on a modern stack (Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, AWS/Vercel).

In this 3–6 month long-term internship program, you will not work on toy sandbox projects; you will write code for real client production systems alongside experienced engineers. You will receive structured 1:1 technical mentorship, pair programming and rigorous code reviews. The role is heavily focused on frontend architecture, with occasional integration into backend APIs and services. High-performing interns will be considered for full-time or part-time Junior Software Engineer roles upon completion.
