Qubit9 is building a new, distributed, virtual Cloud platform.

Demand for Cloud services is increasing exponentially: here you become part of the new global system driven by decentralized technologies disrupting the mainstream Cloud space.

In an all english-speaking environment, we are researching and learning new solutions daily, pushing the boundaries of distributed technologies.

Finally, we are proudly part of a global movement to improve the efficiency of existing infrastructure and build a smart, diverse and sustainable business. Come reinvent the internet with Qubit9!

We invented the position of General Management & Entrepreneurship intern (m/f/d) - based on a growing number of talented, bright applicants with prestigious backgrounds in finance, consulting, and startups.

Often they currently pursue their Master’s at a renowned university and seek practical experience. Contrary to a traditional company, we are offering the chance to sit next to some of the most successful serial entrepreneurs in Germany and to switch into a fast-growing blockchain and cloud TechStartup. Here, you might find the founders building your desk on the day you arrive - but also hyper-growth and work challenges that are different every few months in every way.

Your ultimate goal is to solve problems for the company and to find/create your position within our fast-growing environment.

We personally know several top-level people that have started this way, then went on to start their own businesses or take on leadership roles at Goodgame Studios, Airbnb, or elsewhere. Ready to dive into the deep end?
