In Startuplifers, we find the best startups in Singapore and San Francisco for Nordic students to try their wings at. One of the most frequent questions we are asked is what kind of startups we have. We get new companies onboard troughout the year, so the positions vary monthly.

In this post we listed some examples of positions where you could be interning via Startuplifers. By scrolling this post through you’ll see some of our job offers for developers, designers and business people.

But before we get to the point, an important note! If you want to score a job in a startup, it’s not necessary to match 100% of the requirements in the description. It’s more about your own attitude and ambition, such as the interest towards the company and your ability to communicate how you’ll be able to bring value for the company. Even the startups don’t know exactly what they need, so you can actually be the one to tell them during your interviews with the recruiters.

In the end, it’s the Nordic way of thinking, working and doing that has occurred the most positive feedback from the startups around the world. So don’t be afraid if you yet don’t know it all.
