General information

Duration: 
6 months
Commitment: 
Full-time
Description: 

Do you want to exhibit your graphical talents on Europe's largest online marketplace for live music? Gigtarter is looking for you! You'll make beautiful promotional material and wil help (re)design webpages and features on our website based on user experience analyses. You'll work with an enthousiastic team in the city center of Amsterdam. You'll learn a lot and get plenty of freedom and responsibilities. Are you the versatile designer we're looking for? A work internship is preferred. The internship can start in the beginning of September 2021, exact start dates are flexible.

You will spend your time on the development of the front-end of new web-features and on the continuous improvement of the user experience of existing pages. An important part of the tasks consists of improving the UX and user journey with the goal to increase conversion rates. You will work together with IT developers and content writers (community managers). Some Git and Ruby on Rails (or alike) experience is a pro. The internship can start immediately. Our preference goes to a full-time work internship so that you can immerse yourself fully, but can – depending on your ambitions or scolar obligations – be combined with a research project. We have plenty of data, interactions and extentions/projects on the shelve that could be combined with scientific research if needed. After a successful internship there will be an opportunity for a side-job (at distance) in combination with your studies; or a career opportunity depending on your abilities, aspirations and fit within the team.

We're looking for someone who:

  • Is a good designer and has an eye for detail
  • Masters Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign (Premiere is a plus)
  • Comfortable working with HTML, CSS & javascript
  • Is a 3rd or 4th year student (preferrably)
  • Is available to work on-site in Amsterdam
  • Is a teamplayer
  • Is an EU citizen 

The following is nice to have:

  • Passion for live music
  • Experience with Git
  • Ruby on rails knowledge

At Gigstarter you'll find

  • Nice projects where you'll have the opportunity to develop yourself
  • A diverse and supportive team (incl. sr. developers)
  • An office in the heart of Amsterdam.
  • A connection with the live music industry
  • A unique entry on your resume
  • Option for a (side)job after the internship
  • At Gigstarter we love parties, so expect visiting interesting live music events and friday-afternoon drinks
