 Junior developer intern (INTERN):
The Internship:
You’ll work out of our office in Oakland for 12 weeks. The work will be a split 50/50 between admin stuff (that we really, really need help with) and writing real production code. The internship is paid and can lead to a full-time job. This program has been very successful with two interns already.
You:
You’re a junior developer. You have some coding experience. You can clone our Rails code base and start to make small changes. This is a good fit for someone before or after an intensive developer bootcamp.
You are extremely motivated to learn and become a better developer. You’re a great writer and communicator. You have high-energy and are a positive person. You are good at multi-tasking and are comfortable with ambiguity.
To Apply:
Send me an email (to REDACTED_EMAIL) that has:
- A very short paragraph describing your coding background with a link to something that is live and running that you created. If you don’t have anything live, tell me what the most awesome thing you’ve built is.
- A very short paragraph about what your goals are. Be honest, instead of telling me what you think I want to hear.
- What is something else, unrelated to tech, that you’ve done that was hard and is cool.
- A link to your linkedin.com profile.
