Our
trainee program

Our trainee programs as a full-stack web developer or DevOps engineer offers the opportunity of a guided career start. You will learn from the best and be fully integrated into the team right from the start.

We are makandra

We are a team of web developers, Linux administrators and cloud specialists. Our client base ranges from SMEs to corporations such as Siemens, Volkswagen, or ProSiebenSat.1. We have no fixed structures, instead, we have short decision-making processes and a high level of self-responsibility. We support each other, develop, document, and share our knowledge together.

What you will learn with us

As a steadily organic growing company, we are always looking for new colleagues. Most of our team members at makandra started with one of our two trainee programs. In these programs, we provide you with condensed practical knowledge to prepare you to work with us later as a Full-Stack Web Developer or DevOps Engineer. Depending on whether you are more interested in web development or Linux and cloud topics, choose the appropriate program.

Colleague from the makandra-team

The colleagues are just great, it's really a team feeling that's been created. You can just go over to someone and ask "Hey, can you explain this to me?" and you get an answer straight away. Nobody is annoyed.
