Internship – Headless CMS

We are ELCA, one of the largest Swiss IT tribes with over 2,200 experts. We are multicultural with offices in Switzerland, Spain, France, Vietnam, and Mauritius. Since 1968, our team of engineers, business analysts, software architects, designers, and consultants provide tailor-made and standardized solutions to support the digital transformation of major public administrations and private companies in Switzerland. Our activity spans across multiple fields of leading-edge technologies such as AI, Machine & Deep learning, BI/BD, RPA, Blockchain, IoT, and CyberSecurity.

We are seeking a highly motivated intern to join our team and explore cutting-edge web development technologies. The internship will focus on identifying a relevant Headless CMS (Content Management System), understanding and working within the MACH (Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, and Headless) architecture, and implementing a robust starter kit for future projects.

1. Research and Identification:
   Conduct an in-depth analysis of various Headless CMS platforms (e.g., Strapi, Contentful, Sanity, datoCMS, Drupal) and assess their features, scalability, and suitability for modern web development needs. Present recommendations based on findings, considering factors such as ease of use, developer experience, integration capabilities, license costs, and community support.
2. Exploring MACH Architecture:
   Study and document key principles of MACH architecture (Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, and Headless) to understand how it enables flexible, scalable, and modular web applications. Collaborate with the team to design a high-level architecture that incorporates a chosen Headless CMS and aligns with MACH principles.
3. Implementation of a Starter Kit:
   Develop a starter kit or template project that integrates the selected Headless CMS with modern front-end technologies (e.g., React, Vue, or Next.js) and API-based workflows. Ensure the starter kit follows best practices for scalability, modularity, and maintainability. Provide documentation and setup instructions to guide future developers in utilizing the starter kit efficiently.
