We are a regulated fintech from Hamburg building the compliant payment layer between AI agents and data providers. Our infrastructure enables agents to discover, pay, and consume data autonomously — using e-money tokens, the x402 protocol, and real-time euro settlement. Backed by the City of Hamburg, MiCAR-compliant, PSD2-regulated.
Technical Product Research Intern in Agentic Payments / Stablecoins / Web3
Location: Berlin
Type: Internship, (on-site)
Duration: 3-6 months
Developer Research Intern / Working Student — Berlin
Tasks
The role
We're looking for a proactive developer-researcher in Berlin who sits at the intersection of code and market intelligence. You won't just research — you'll build prototypes, test integrations, and shape how we position ourselves in a fast-moving market. This role is ideal for someone who likes digging into new protocols, testing APIs hands-on, and turning findings into actionable recommendations.
What you'll do
- Map the agentic payments landscape: who are the players, what protocols exist (x402, MCP, Skyfire, etc.), where are the gaps
- Identify and evaluate potential data provider partners (weather, finance, geo, pricing APIs) for our pilot program
- Research and categorize data providers across verticals — build a product matrix comparing pricing models, API quality, MCP readiness, and agent compatibility
- Build small proof-of-concepts and test integrations with MCP servers and data provider endpoints
- Analyze competitor products, pricing models, and regulatory positioning
- Research how LLM platforms (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.) are integrating external data sources and payment layers
- Synthesize findings into clear internal memos and pitch materials — no 50-page reports, short and actionable
- Proactively flag opportunities, risks, and potential partners without waiting to be asked
Requirements
What we're looking for
- Currently studying computer science, fintech, business informatics, or similar
- Can write code: comfortable with APIs, HTTP requests, basic scripting (Python, TypeScript, or similar)
- Genuinely curious about AI agents, crypto payments, and fintech regulation — not just checking a box
- Proactive by default: you see something interesting, you dig in and share it before anyone asks
- Strong English communication skills, written and verbal
- Based in Berlin or willing to be
- Bonus: experience with blockchain/stablecoins, MCP, or fintech regulation
What we offer
- Direct access to the founding team, your work shapes product and strategy decisions
- Real ownership: your research and prototypes go into production, not a drawer
- A front-row seat to the intersection of AI, payments, and European regulation
- Flexible hours (Werkstudent: 15-20h/week, Praktikum: full-time for 3-6 months)
- Office in Berlin, remote flexibility
