Web Developer Intern (Unpaid) — Babylon


Location: Dublin, Ireland

Commitment: 3 - 6 months (flexible for term dates)


Build the web that helps newcomers feel at home. 

Babylon is a multicultural media and community platform for people living in a new country. We publish practical guides for 16 countries, run an online radio, and host events that help people integrate faster. We’re scaling fast—and we’re looking for a Web Developer Intern who wants to ship meaningful features to production, not just watch from the sidelines.

What you’ll work on

  • Next.js app: Build responsive pages and components (React, TypeScript, Tailwind, shadcn/ui), improve routing, and tighten Core Web Vitals.

  • Headless WordPress: Consume WP REST/GraphQL to power content in our Next.js front end, preserve internal links, and maintain Rank Math SEO scores.

  • Firebase integration: Auth, Firestore, Functions, and secure client/server data flows.

  • Internationalization & GEO content: Multi-country, multi-language structures with clean URL strategies and schema markup.

  • DevOps-lite: Vercel deploys, basic Cloudflare/CDN tasks, error monitoring, and logging.

  • AI-assisted workflow: Use our ChatGPT Teams + Agent workflows for content ops, QA checks, link hygiene, and PR review prompts.


Our stack

  • Front end: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind, shadcn/ui

  • CMS: WordPress (headless)

  • Data & Auth: Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Cloud Functions)

  • Infra/Deploy: Vercel, Cloudflare (and some legacy Contabo)

  • Collab: GitHub, Jira, Figma

  • AI: ChatGPT Teams with agent workflows for Web Dev


You’ll be great at this if you

  • Know modern React fundamentals and can write clean TypeScript.

  • Have basic experience with Next.js (app router, data fetching) and Tailwind.

  • Can fetch from APIs (REST/GraphQL) and manage async state without chaos.

  • Care about UX details: accessibility, keyboard nav, responsive layout.

  • Like measuring impact: Core Web Vitals, GA4 events, Lighthouse.

  • Communicate clearly in PRs and enjoy collaborative reviews.


Nice to have

  • WordPress headless experience

  • Firebase experience (Auth rules, Firestore indexes, Functions)

  • Basic schema.org and JSON-LD

  • Familiarity with Vercel/Cloudflare and simple CI


What you’ll get

  • Real production commits with your name on them (and live URLs for your portfolio).

  • AI-powered workflow training (ChatGPT Teams + agents) you can reuse anywhere.

  • Career support: tailored reference letter, LinkedIn recommendations, and interview prep.


This is an unpaid, learning-focused internship designed for students or recent grads seeking experience. Academic credit available if your institution supports it.
