Beschrijving van het bedrijf

At KPN, we build digital services that millions of customers use every day. Customers rely on our platforms to manage their products, services, and connection with KPN. Behind these experiences are engineering teams working continuously to make our technology faster, smarter, and more reliable.

During your internship, you will become part of an agile engineering team. You will work alongside frontend and backend engineers, platform specialists, architects, and product owners. You will not just watch from the sidelines. You will contribute to real projects, join technical discussions, participate in code reviews, and learn how professional engineering teams turn ideas into working software. An experienced mentor will guide you throughout your internship and help you develop your technical skills.

Functieomschrijving

As an intern, you will help build and improve KPN’s digital platforms. Depending on your assignment, you could develop customer portal features with Vue.js or build backend services using Python, FastAPI, or Django. You will contribute to real projects while discovering how modern technologies work together within KPN’s digital environment.

During your internship, you will:

• Build and connect applications using REST APIs, Kafka, and modern backend technologies.
• Learn how OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect help secure digital customer journeys.

• Monitor performance and reliability with tools such as Prometheus and Grafana.
