Were hosting three programs this fall and are looking for talented, motivated and ambitious students looking to gain some experience working in a fast-paced, high-tech start up and actually make a meaningful impact (paper-pushers need not apply). The positions would be fall internships at our awesome offices in downtown Boston. (Yes, we do have a full sized pool table in the office and ride our bikes indoors to get from one conference room to the others!)
The program described below is for our Not Your Typical Tech Internship program.
The Not Your Typical Tech Internship program is a 3 month long experience for bright technically savvy students. Were looking for one or two brilliant computer science students to work with our tech team this fall to build some amazing new mobile apps and improve our existing product line. We work with Python, LAMP, Rails, everything open-source, but its not hugely important if you know that stuff yet. Were much more interested in if youre bright, hardworking and motivated to do something awesome with your work with this fall.
The program will also include exciting learning opportunities that you can only really get at a high-tech start up. Youll be fully engaged in the high-tech community up in Boston, attending events and speaking series with some of the best and brightest minds in the world, joining us at local events where were presenting SCVNGRs novel algorithms or just listening to either bright individuals and organizations tout their achievements.
The whole point is that this when we say its not your typical internship, we mean it. Youll be working hard for sure, but youll also learn a tremendous amount and get to experience life on the bleeding-edge of technology in a fast-paced start-up.
