boxd
The future is on serverless containers
Founded in 2026, boxd builds development environments for fast-growing engineering teams: lightning-fast, persistent-by-default, hardware-isolated, and forkable machines. Soon, 99.9% of code will be written and maintained by agents, and they'll need billions of machines exactly like these. That's what we're building.
About the role
You'll join a small team building the machines that agents and fast-growing engineering teams run on. Your job is to understand the system deeply, learn a lot, and make the platform better by using it the way customers do.
You'll exercise boxd end to end, from signup to a running machine, across the CLIs, the SDKs, the console, and the docs. Where it breaks, you chase it to a fix with a founding engineer close by. Where it's inconsistent, you make it consistent.
What you'll do
- Test the platform end to end and turn what you find into fixes.
- Keep every customer touchpoint consistent: the CLIs, the SDKs, the docs, the console, and the experience inside every machine.
- Learn how a distributed system, a microVM engine, and a product come together.
- Bring ideas, not just execution. We listen to interns.
About you
- We don't care about a degree. We care that you've built real things in computer science, engineering, or systems.
- You're a strong programmer who learns fast and asks good questions.
- You're thorough: you notice the small inconsistencies most people scroll past.
- You care about the craft and want to work with people who do too.
- You're in Amsterdam, or excited to relocate for the internship.
What you'll get
- A monthly allowance between €500 and €750.
- A founding engineer as your mentor.
- Colleagues who are exceptional at what they do, on the engineering side and the commercial side.
- Unlimited flexibility in when you work.
- A free gym membership.
- A real shot at a full-time offer if it's a fit on both sides.
