Looking for an IT internship and want to work with a real product, not just study tasks?

We are Martspec (Texas, USA), a startup, and we are looking for a junior frontend developer who wants to gain practical experience in team development, improve their skills, and participate in the development of a real production project.

⚠️ Important: This is an unpaid internship for 1-2 months, focused on gaining practical experience, developing skills, and working with real code.

❗ ️ Applications are considered ONLY with a completed test task

Applications without a completed test task will not be considered.

The test task takes about 20-40 minutes and helps us understand how comfortable you are with independently launching a project and navigating code.

🔹 This internship may be particularly useful if you want to:

• Build a portfolio with real tasks;
• Gain experience working on a production project;
• Understand how team development works outside of study projects;
• Learn to work with a modern frontend stack;
• Gain practical experience working in a distributed team.

🔹 This internship will NOT be suitable if:

• You are looking for a paid position right now;
• You are not interested in figuring out code on your own;
• You are not ready to launch a project locally;
• You are not ready to complete a test task;
• You need constant supervision, daily calls, and strict task management.

🔹 What awaits you

Our frontend is built on ReactJS + Bootstrap and follows the principles of Atomic Design.

You will start with clear and practical tasks:

• UI Components - Creating stories for Ladle (a fast alternative to Storybook) and working with reusable interface components.
• Localization - Adapting and creating layouts for pages in different languages.
• Real Tasks - As your skills grow, you will be assigned more complex tasks and participate in the implementation of new business logic.

🎭 Format and Culture

• Full Freedom: Flexible schedule, 100% remote from your own device. You work at a time convenient for you.
• Work without stress and micromanagement: We have no deadlines (we consider them counterproductive), no mandatory video calls, and no tedious daily stand-ups.
• Asynchronous communication: All communication is in text format via Slack. The team is usually online from 18:00 to 21:00 Moscow time.
• Ecology of communication: We only discuss work-related project tasks internally — political, religious, and other abstract topics are not raised.
• Human approach: You can disappear for a few days for your own reasons, the main thing is to notify the team in advance so that your internship does not end prematurely.

🔹 Your technical arsenal

• Basic understanding of TypeScript and ReactJS;
• Familiarity with Bootstrap 5 and SCSS;
• Understanding of Webpack 5 operating principles;
• Basic Git/GitHub skills:
  • cloning a repository;
  • creating branches;
  • Pull Request (PR).

🔹 Tooling

• Jira (Kanban methodology) — for task management.
• Slack — for communication.
• Figma — for viewing mockups from designers.
• VS Code (Visual Studio Code) — recommended development environment, but you can use any environment that is convenient for you.

🔹 Conditions:

• Format: 1-2 month internship (unpaid)
• Focus: practical experience and skill development
• Outcome: real cases for portfolio and GitHub
• Opportunity for further growth with successful performance
