Bringing a Stone-Age market into the 21st century.
The market for high-value watches moves billions, but to this day it runs on Excel spreadsheets, WhatsApp chats and handwritten notes. We are building the platform that finally brings this "Stone Age market" into the 21st century: inventory, customers, marketplace, accounting, invoicing, communication. Everything in one suite dealers actually enjoy using.
We are small, fast, and uncompromising about the product. Whoever builds with us shapes an entire market.
Working Student Software Engineering (m/f/d)
- 15–20 h/week
- Munich (Grünwald) or Remote
- Available immediately
Your role
You work directly with our CTO. Short paths, fast decisions, real shaping instead of working tickets. Concretely:
- Implementation of new features in our web app (React + TypeScript) and the backend (Firebase Cloud Functions on Google Cloud).
- Maintenance and evolution of the existing codebase. Clean code, clear structures, no sprawl.
- Bug fixing, smaller refactorings, code reviews.
- You see your work live with real dealers within days.
What you bring
- Enrolled at a university (computer science, business informatics, mathematics, physics or related). Bachelor or master programme.
- Solid coding skills. Ideally not just since yesterday. You enjoy code, have your own projects, a GitHub profile, hackathon experience, open source or comparable.
- Stack know-how: JavaScript / TypeScript, React, Git as a baseline. Experience with Google Cloud, Firebase, Firestore or Node.js is a strong plus.
- Self-driven. You do not need a babysitter, but you ask when something is unclear.
- German or English. Either works in our team.
What we offer
- Fair, market-rate compensation. We know what good working students are worth.
- Real shaping. No internship-bullshit tasks, only features that ship to production.
- 1:1 with the CTO. Direct mentoring, honest feedback, you become noticeably better at the job.
- Flexible. 15–20 h/week, hours largely your choice. Exam periods are respected.
- Hybrid. Office in Grünwald (S-Bahn-connected) for days together, otherwise remote is completely fine.
- Modern tools, modern codebase, no legacy Java monolith.
- Startup mentality, but no crunch. We build for the long run, not for the next pitch.
Sounds like you?
Send us a short, informal email to info@chronodesk.com with:
- Who you are (one or two sentences).
- What you have built so far (GitHub link, small project, whatever you want to show).
- When you could start and how many hours per week are realistic.
No cover-letter novels, no high-gloss portfolios. Code and curiosity count more than format.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
