Frontend Developer Internship NYC (Restaurant OS) - Remote

3 Months

• Fully Remote
• 32 Hours/Week Preferred

About ZOVU Restaurants have enough to worry about. Their software shouldn’t be one of those things.

At ZOVU , we’re building the Operating System for the modern restaurant. Our vision is simple: one connected platform bringing together Point of Sale, reservations, loyalty, staff operations, and the customer experience.

And we’re doing things differently.

Instead of charging restaurants expensive monthly subscriptions, our business model is built around transactions. When restaurants grow, we grow with them. We’re an early-stage, fully remote startup preparing for our first restaurant launches. There’s already a product in development, a team building it, and plenty of ambitious work ahead.

If you enjoy creating things that people will actually use, you’ll feel at home here.

The Role

We’re looking for an ambitious Frontend Developer Intern to help build the web applications behind ZOVU.

This isn’t an internship where you’ll spend three months watching someone else code.

You’ll contribute to real software, develop new functionality, improve existing interfaces, investigate problems, and work alongside our engineering and design teams to bring ZOVU closer to launch.

Your work will help restaurant owners and managers interact with the technology they depend on to run their businesses.

You’ll turn ideas and designs into working applications, contribute to product improvements, and take responsibility for the features you develop.

We’re not looking for someone who knows every framework. We’re looking for someone who knows how to build. What Excites You

• Building Something from the Ground Up: You enjoy turning ideas into working software and watching a product come together.
• Creating Great Experiences: You like building interfaces that are clear, intuitive, and enjoyable to use.
• Solving Real Problems: You enjoy figuring out why something doesn’t work and finding better ways to build it.
• Taking Ownership: You’re excited to take responsibility for your work rather than wait for instructions at every step.
• Learning Through Experience: You want to grow by contributing to real projects alongside other developers.
• Startup Life: You enjoy an environment where ideas matter, priorities evolve, and your contributions make a difference.

What Excites Us

• Experience That Shows: You’ve already built frontend applications through internships, freelance work, professional experience, or substantial personal projects.
• Frontend Fundamentals: You’re comfortable working with React, JavaScript, and TypeScript.
• Real Ownership: You can clearly explain what you personally built, rather than only describing what your team accomplished.
• Practical Problem-Solving: You’ve encountered technical challenges, investigated them, and worked toward solutions.
• Development Practices: You’re familiar with Git and understand the importance of readable, maintainable code.
• Project Management & Collaboration: You’re familiar with Jira and comfortable using it to manage tasks, track progress, and collaborate with a development team.
• Attention to Detail: You care about creating quality interfaces and making sure your work fits well into the wider product.
• Independence: You can make progress on assigned work, communicate blockers, and ask useful questions when needed.
• Communication: You’re comfortable collaborating in English with a remote, international team.

Bonus points: Experience contributing to production software, business applications, or products used by real customers.

We care more about what you’ve actually built than a long list of technologies on your CV.

You don’t need to know everything. But you should have practical experience, a willingness to learn, and the motivation to contribute.
