Internship Developer NYC (Restaurant OS)

About ZOVU ZOVU is a global online startup building the Operating System for the modern restaurant.

We are on a mission to unify the fragmented hospitality industry. Our vision is simple: One OS that covers everything a restaurant needs, Point of Sale, Loyalty Systems, Reservations, Staff Planning, and a Customer App.

We are disrupting the industry by saying “No” to expensive monthly contracts. While competitors charge high SaaS fees, ZOVU operates on a partnership model: we charge strictly a transaction margin on sales. We only grow when our customers grow.

We operate as a fully remote, global team, we are at the start of an exciting journey, adding new features and growing rapidly.

At ZOVU, we’re all about supporting you! We’re committed to making our hiring process inclusive.

If you are ready to hustle and build something from the ground up, we want you on board.

And remember: we don’t expect you to meet every requirement. If you’re excited by this role and the Horeca industry, we encourage you to apply!

The Role We’re looking to hire an ambitious Full-Stack Developer Intern to join our global tech team.

In this role, you will not be fetching coffee; you will be writing real code. You will help architect and build our brand-new native Intershop module from the ground up, working alongside experienced developers. You will contribute to a system that allows restaurants to seamlessly process merchandise, meal kits, and gift cards natively within our OS.

Because of our unique transaction-based model, every checkout flow you help optimize and every feature you build directly impacts our shared growth.

This is a fully remote internship. You manage your own time and your own code, but you will never be left in the dark. You will receive hands-on mentorship, a direct line to the founders, and the opportunity to see how a scalable system architecture is built in the real world.

What Excites You Total freedom coupled with great mentorship is your preferred way of working. You love the idea of operating remotely, managing your own schedule, and taking ownership of actual OS components without being micromanaged.

You have a highly entrepreneurial and curious mindset, preferring to learn by doing. You want to see how your code directly dictates a product’s success and performance.

You are excited to build a product that is evolving, and you can easily grasp the vision of the “One OS” to help us integrate this new native module into our POS, Loyalty, and Reservations systems.

You want to learn how to disrupt the space by challenging fragmented third-party tools, creating a unified architecture utilizing Google Cloud, Dart, and TypeScript. As a true builder, you are a self-starter who loves the thrill of solving complex problems and building something substantial.

What Excites Us You have a proven engineering spirit. Experience through university projects, bootcamps, or personal side-projects is great, but your attitude matters the most; we need ambitious, fast learners.

You possess deep resilience, truly understanding startup life where things move fast, requirements can pivot, and adaptability is key.

Since this is 100% remote, you have the profound self-discipline and internal drive to work consistently, write clean code, and hit your learning milestones independently.

Through strong communication, you can ask the right questions and collaborate effectively as you learn our tech stack (our primary languages are Dart and TypeScript, alongside CSS, PLpgSQL, JavaScript, and Kotlin, all running on Google Cloud).

Finally, you carry industry empathy. You understand the restaurant business inside out; maybe you’ve worked a student job in hospitality, so you know exactly how critical system uptime and fast UI/UX are when a busy Friday night hits.

The Good Stuff! 100% Remote: Work from anywhere in the world. Digital nomad friendly. Startup Speed: No corporate bureaucracy. We implement ideas fast and you will ship real code. Real-World Experience: Join a fast-growing startup on the ground floor and get hands-on mentorship. The growth opportunities are limitless as we scale globally. Be Part of the Vision: You aren’t just an intern; you are helping build the “One OS” for the Horeca industry.

Life at ZOVU We are a global online organization defined by our ambition. We don’t need a fa…
