The Makkan Engineering Fellowship is a 12-week practical fellowship for engineers ready to move from learning software development to building production software.
What it is
Four fellows per cohort. Each one paired 1:1 with a Makkan engineer as a mentor, working on real internal and client-facing projects, not simulations. You'll spend your time split between structured learning, supervised production work, and regular feedback, with the whole cohort coming together every 3 weeks to connect, share, and learn from each other.
What you'll do
Work on 1–2 internal projects and 1 external/client-facing project alongside the Makkan team
Get direct code review and mentorship from a working engineer
Build a real, credible portfolio of shipped work, not just tutorials
Who we're looking for
People with strong fundamentals, a genuine ability to learn fast, and evidence they've actually built something, whether self-taught or bootcamp-trained. We care about what you can do, not just how you got here.
