Details

Waste in your takeout is a problem? Are you uncomfortable with the throwaway status quo? Do you believe that climate change is the biggest threat to humanity? Do you want to use your skills to inspire people to tackle climate change and embrace conscious living?

Inwit is more than an internship - it's a calling! We are looking for Web Developers responsible for managing back-end and front-end services and data interchange between the server and the users. Your primary focus will be the development of all server-side logic, definition and maintenance of the central database, and ensuring high performance and responsiveness to requests from the front end. You will also be responsible for integrating the front-end elements built by your co-workers into the application. Therefore, a basic understanding of front-end technologies is necessary as well.

If you like the sound of our culture and are ready to tackle this challenge with us, then we'd love to hear from you.
