Student assistant position for full-stack development of a microservice-based application for the Master’s course Advanced Topics of Software Engineering. The role also includes maintenance and support of central exercise sessions during the winter semester 2026.

The Chair of Information Systems Development and Operation is looking for a technically strong student with full-stack development experience to help implement and maintain a new Master’s project for the course Advanced Topics of Software Engineering in the winter semester 2026.

The project will be used as the central practical assignment of the course and will involve the development of a microservice-based application from scratch. The position is mostly remote, with several on-site update meetings, and is to be filled as soon as possible for six months, for 9 to 20 hours per week, with implementation-related tasks during the summer and maintenance, presentation, and teaching-support tasks during the semester.

Your responsibilities, therefore, include:

• Development tasks: end-to-end implementation of a microservice-based application, including REST APIs, frontend, backend, database connectivity, and testing
• Organisational tasks: conducting 4–5 central exercise sessions during the semester
• Maintenance tasks: maintaining the application, supporting students in using it, and helping resolve implementation-related issues during the course

Your profile should include:

• Strong Java experience, preferably Java 21+, and familiarity with Spring Boot, JDBC, and relational databases such as PostgreSQL
• Experience with JavaScript-based front-end development, for example React or Angular
• Ability to work independently, discuss technical design decisions, and produce quality code that other students can later read, run, and extend

The working language is English. If you are interested, please familiarise yourself with the further details here: https://www.cs.cit.tum.de/en/isdo/teaching/open-positions/.
