Ask HN: Who's Hiring? (Intern Edition)

65 points| adbge | 14 years ago | reply

Hey, HN'ers,

I noticed that there didn't seem to be many internship opportunities in the August edition of the "Who's Hiring?" thread, so I decided to take it upon myself to right this clear injustice.

Please include:

* Company

* Location

* Are you willing to relocate potential interns?

* What does your company do?

* What technologies are involved?

* Length of internship

* Paid/Unpaid

If you're looking for a passionate C/Unix/systems programming intern, feel free to contact me directly. (Email is in my profile.)

We write Python, C, and Javascript--we wrote our own datastore from scratch. We have 218 servers right now. The internship would be 2-3 months (standard).

Definitely paid.

RockMelt

Internships are paid, I believe that should cover expenses but we can negotiate if you're a fit.

Re-inventing the browser to match how people use the web today. Bringing social interaction and link discovery to the browser itself.

We're looking for interns of all types. C++/Obj-C for native client dev (rooting around in Chromium and building features), JS and HTML for platform application dev, and Java for our back end.

We've had some interns stay with us for the year round, so we can find something that works for you.

Paid internship.

We're OpenX, located in Pasadena, CA.

We're willing to relocate, and the internship length is flexible. The internships are paid.

We wrote an ad server and have our own ad exchange. We also wrote our own time-series datastore (Erlang and C). Most of our code is Erlang, Java, and C. We're using Cassandra, Riak, CouchDB, Hadoop, and others.

We have datacenters in the US (east/west), EU, and Japan. We handle billions of requests a day, and get a couple hundred milliseconds on each one to determine which ad is the best one to serve. A typical request will hit eight backends in that time period. If that sounds fun, you can reach me at joel at openx . com.

San Francisco, CA Affine Systems generates data about online video using computer vision (face recognition, product recognition, scene classification, etc.) for advertisers to use in targeting and filtering their online video campaigns.

We did over a million dollars in revenue last year working on campaigns for major brands. We recently raised our B round, led by Crosslink Capital, the investors behind Pandora.

We are looking for test-driven interns (and full-time) engineers (and sysadmins) to work on an internet-scale video processing pipeline using Python, MySQL, Hadoop, Selenium, ffmpeg and other open source tools. Its goal is to find and ingest videos from web pages and to generate and store metadata about those videos using our vision algorithms written in C++.

We are looking for paid interns for this semester (and beyond) who are capable of working alongside us in our office in San Francisco.

If interested, please contact me (founder/ CTO) at [email protected] Thanks.

We're CommonPlace USA, of Anytown, USA -- Massachusetts more than anything, but we're mostly distributed.

We are building a web platform that will help save civic America from the decentralization of modern communication. We are looking for one of two candidates:

1) Ruby on Rails backend developer. Must be willing to dabble in Javascript here and there, but mostly looking for the Ruby/Rails/database/architecture work.

2) Front-end guy. We have an awesome designer, and want to get his ideas into our code base as quickly as possible. Requires the obvious HTML/CSS/Javascript. HAML/SASS (with some familiarity with Rails -- not too much) is greatly appreciated, but certainly not a requisite.

This internship would be paid. Definitely. And we're looking for dedicated people who can start soon!

My e-mail address is in my profile -- we'd love to hear from you :)

Company: pocketvillage

http://www.pocketvillage.com

http://blog.pocketvillage.com/careers/

Location: Stuttgart, Germany

Internship is paid, relocation isn't

Length of internship: 3mo - inf

What we do: We're a young startup aggregating extraordinary activities, standardizing & enhancing the data, and redistributing it through our API.

Technologies:

* Python coding skills are required, Django and SOLR/Lucene knowledge would be great.

* We're also looking for some helping hands in our Ops department, helping to build a solid monitoring and auto-scaling solution for our AWS instances.

We're quite a small startup so you're not just a coding monkey and can expect to be involved in architecture decisions as well.

My start up, Incident Tech, is always looking for new interns especially those versed in any kind of C language. We are still running mostly stealth but on a top level are developing a new kind of music entertainment experience oriented an consumer electronics device you dock your iPhone into which then connects you to our online platform. Our tech stack is nearly all of the C's (C/++/#/objective) and on the web side of things we're running a pretty standard LAMP stack.

Our internships have both salary and equity components. We're located in Santa Clara for now, likely to move up farther north in the next few months. Willing to talk about relocation. The length of the internship is flexible but typically it's 3-6 months.

* Koupon Media

* Dallas, TX

* Remote or local, amazing talent is all we care about!

* We are a backend platform that ties into any promotional campaign so that nothing is lost in the transition from a users' online engagement to the point of sale. Our first launch was with Pepsi.

* ASP.Net/JS/Obj-C/Java/JQuery. All we care about is you showing us projects that you have worked on, and why you chose the certain tech design patterns that you did; everything else is simply fluff!

* 3 months (extendable if you are awesome!)

* Paid (we are not stingy)

Contact [email protected] and tell your friends about us because we are fair at best guys! Or don't. Your choice. Skype me bro at "JustBivIt" because I would love to talk!

AppStores, in San Francisco, right by Union Square, need a marketing and community management intern, but you can make the roll as developery as you want. A developer evangelist would be hot.

We're a white label application store platform.

We just opened up a spot for an intern. We had two awesome ones from the east coast this summer and they went back to school.

  * internship is paid

  * a relocation isn't

  * it's for the fall semester

  * we have a lot of fun (we did Improv Everywhere on Tue, going bowling tonight)

Heyawanna Labs (San Francisco)

* We're a social site in its early stages that allows you to find more people through friends, mainly for activities. For example, need a few more people for poker? Find a friend, or a friend of a friend. Or need a 3rd roommate for a sweet 3BR apartment? Look for friends looking for the same, or their friends. Sure beats soliciting randos on craigslist.

* PHP / Mysql / MongoDB

* We're happy to pay to relocate you

* Pay will be equity/salary, negotiable

* Negotiable timing

Please apply if you also feel passionate about the problem we're trying to solve. :)
