Ask HN: Looking for interns / entry level?

113 points| dschobel | 16 years ago | reply

Is your company looking for interns for the summer?

Do you care more about talent than years of work experience?

Are you an inexperienced but ambitious hacker/designer/<anything which may be useful to a real company> looking for something more stimulating than mowing lawns?

This is your thread.

As always, if your position is location specific, please say so in the post.

Chicago or New York. Paid. Help build a cool new Rails product, or contribute to security research on hugely important industry projects: you pick. We'll take on interns year round.

We're looking for exactly one thing: willingness to code (in any language).

I'm a graduating fourth year Computer Science major at Georgia Tech looking for an entry level job. I code well in Python, Lisp, Java, C++, as well as having worked in Lua, Smalltalk, C, Netlogo and C#. My experience is mostly in Robotics in addition to Modeling and Simulation, however I've done some website work. I'm fairly well versed in algorithms as well. Contact me on my e-mail in my profile for a copy of my resume.

Hi I'm a Junior at Stanford in Biogeochemistry and Economics. I'm looking for a do-anything, put-on-different-hats ('cept coding as I've only taken intro CS) internship anywhere in the world (Bay Area, NYC, Mongolia, etc) for the summer- paid, unpaid, plastic tchotkes is all good.

Thanks! elee89 _at_ stanford dot edu

We're looking for an intern in Shanghai. Paid but not much (but more than enough to cover the cost of living in Shanghai)... You would be working on Rails app and play with cool and fun things like cappuccino, redis and mongodb. Possibility of getting hired full time later on.

So, if you want to discover China and join a small growing startup (we do both consulting and our own products), send me a mail at guillaume -squiggly sign- agiletomato.com.

We're also interested in designers...

We're Timetric. We're based in London and working on helping people find and make sense of the statistics they need.

http://timetric.com/

On the development side, if you're into things like visualization and interactive information design, statistics and financial mathematics, finding and cleaning up data, metadata and search systems, machine learning... then we should talk. We're also interested in speaking to prospective business development interns. Email me - [email protected].

Out of curiosity have you developed your own time-series database to do the analysis ? - your api looks much nicer than other time-series databases like KX which I've used.

I'm a fourth year mechanical engineer located in Sydney, Australia. I like making things, either code based (eg, python, django, matlab) or mechanical based (eg, suspension systems). For any questions, reach me at [email protected].

Even though news.yc has a large slant on the northern hemisphere, I'm interested to see if there is much going in the southern hemisphere.

We build apps for Android / iPhone, and have shiny backend goodies.

#1 productivity app on Android, and TechCrunch/MobileCrunch named us(3banana) one of the top ten apps on Android.

We speak scala, Obj-C, java, python, Thrift, whatever gets the job down.

Please shoot us an email at [email protected]

Looking for folks to come hack with us in South Park, SF.

We're looking for an intern to live in our guest room near Lake Tahoe and program. Email me at [email protected].

You should like dogs and the outdoors, and expect little to no pay, beyond room and board. If you want to get here in the winter, that's fine too. The skiing is great.

I'm a CS/Economics student in Romania. I'll be graduating this summer and looking for an internship (remote would be great, but relocating is also an option). I have experience with python and various web frameworks (mainly Django and TurboGears, but I've enjoyed fooling around with Rails, Sinatra and web.py). I'm familiar with HTML/CSS and the HTTP. I'm completely self-taught in these technologies, but have also picked up some C and C++ from school.

I'm an opensource community guy, being a contributing member of various local FLOSS communities. I'm also a member of the Fedora Project, having contributed as a packager, web developer and participated in GSOC2009.

I'm a high school senior looking for a programming internship for the summer. I'm admittedly quite inexperienced(both in terms of hobbyist activities, having worked on no projects of any significant size, and in terms of work in the field, of which I have no experience yet), but I am a fast learner and a very hard worker when I have a project to work towards. I'd be happy to take either a paid or an unpaid internship, although unpaid internships could be a problem if they required me to relocate outside of Tennessee because I don't know that I could afford to find housing.

We're in Mountain View (SF Bay Area) looking for Rails/JRuby/Java coders, preferably folks who are okay with all three. I got hired with just Rails experience, so you might too if you're good :-)

If you've played with JRuby and have strong opinions on how Ruby and Java should integrate, that'd be a big plus.

This is usually a full-time job, with no problem with entry-level folk. But I'll bet we'd be happy to have an intern as well. I'll ask the guys at work :-)

It's a small programming team (about 8 full-time), but a very stable non-startup company. You won't get rich, but you'll have a lot of say in what we're doing.

Junior in the CS program at the University of Arizona.

I love Python, can code well in Java, and am picking up C this semester. I like networking (I participate in a Networks Research Lab), finance, and all things grandiose and complicated. I need to get away from University jobs that entail plugging in cables or adding content to websites. I want to write production software. I'm free for this Summer and looking for an internship that's paid (or at least living expenses covered) and one that's hopefully outside the state of Arizona (or even the US! :).

You should come to a Tucson Startup Drinks get together.

It's a combination of small business and startup business owners and employees in the Tucson area. There also tends to be a lot of like-minded students in attendance.

The google group is much more active than the website.

We (http://www.rethinkdb.com) are looking for summer interns for software engineering and business development. Software guys should have good knowledge of C/C++ and basic computer science, and have good problem solving skills. Biz dev guys should have lots of chutzpah.

We're offering extremely interesting and challenging problems (on both ends), and some pay. We nearly guarantee that you'll learn more in these three months than you have in any three months since you were five. Email us at [email protected].
