Our Approach to University Partnerships

We work with universities to bridge academia and industry, giving students practical skills, hands-on experiences, and exposure to real-world product engineering.

Life as an intern @99x

Real-world exposure for students

At 99x, interns are part of a customer project team from day one.

As an intern, you’ll get the chance to work alongside our teams on real customer projects, contributing both code and ideas to products used around the world. You’ll gain hands-on AI experience by building features, predictive models, and practical solutions within live projects. Beyond that, you’ll also collaborate on our innovation platforms, ranging from Flowyzer, an intern-built success story, to go-vibe.dev, where interns play a key role in shaping the future of engineering productivity.

Learning beyond the classroom

We extend learning outside traditional settings by hosting regular industry visits, where students step into our offices to see product engineering in action and gain valuable exposure to how real-world products are built, tested, and scaled. But the journey doesn’t stop there, at 99x, students and interns share experiences that go far beyond technical skills, from learning the importance of hard work and teamwork to building networks, finding mentors, and planning future career paths, reflecting how an internship is not just about coding but about growing as a professional and as a person.
