About &why

We started &why believing we can build better products by asking why, by caring deeply, by moving fast and being courageous. We create digital experiences that are impactful, human, and timeless - across cultural platforms, high-scale consumer products, and emerging-tech experiments.
From building the digital platform for KKL Luzern, to shipping features for millions of users at FreeNow, to early AI Agent prototypes with B-Lab - we’re developing our own tech platform that powers all upcoming projects.

What this role is about

As a Working Student in Frontend & Design Engineering, you’ll be the link between design and code. You’ll build, prototype, animate and experiment - and learn how real product teams push creative engineering.

How you make an impact

• Contribute to modern, high-performance web experiences built with Next.js, React & TypeScript.
• Explore how interfaces move, feel, and behave - from micro-interactions to experimental animations with Framer Motion or GSAP.
• Work closely with designers to turn ideas into interactive prototypes and polished experiences.
• Add clarity, structure, and visual precision to the product experience.
• Grow your engineering and design craft through feedback, experimentation, and collaboration with a senior team that cares deeply about aesthetics and quality.

Requirements

• First hands-on experience building React/Next.js projects (uni, side projects, internships)
• A portfolio or GitHub showing curiosity, detail focus and design awareness
• You enjoy collaborating with designers and thinking visually
• A structured, reliable way of working - paired with ambition
• Curiosity for what’s next: AI, 3D, micro-interactions, storytelling
• Very good English skills (written & spoken)
• German skills are a plus

Nice to have:

• Experience with 3D / WebGL (Three.js, R3F)
• Experience with design systems, CMS setups or more experimental interfaces

Our Team Experience

We've been in this business long enough to know: our own experience is just as important as our clients. That means healthy working hours, a team that has your back, and strong processes that allow you to focus on shipping great work. Enjoy regular remote and on-site team events, including our legendary pizza party. And finally, be part of a project that lasts - shape our future actively and expand our culture.
