Ask HN: Who has summer internships?

15 points·Scriptor··3 comments

The summer is coming up quickly so this is a good chance for students to find something cool to do. Anyone who has internships or any other summer-only job opening should post.

When posting, please make sure to mention your location, skill you're looking for, and whether there is a chance of remoting. Also, when posting locations, please use the full name of your city, no just "NYC" or "SF".

Thermopylae Sciences and Technologies is looking for summer interns and full hires. We're a DC-area company working with Google Earth to create a platform for developing geospatial apps that take customers pre-existing data storage and make it relevant to them and their users. We recently hit 100 employees, but it still feels like working at a startup (for better or for worse).

One of our main projects is a data fusion project for the Haiti disaster: http://www.3dudop.org/haiti. It allows users to upload all of their relief data in one place, and it has the most heavily used relief data repository for relief efforts since 7 days after the earthquake.

We use PostGreSQL, PHP, and Javascript for our web portals, and we have Android and iPhone apps as well. We're looking for anybody with interest -- we can teach you the programming languages.

If you're interested, send me an email at trjordan@t-sciences.com.

Fedora does!

Remoting is mandatory. The payment rate is fixed at $5000 (or $2500 for half-projects). You decide when you work, who you work with, how much you work, what you work on, what tools you'll be using etc. You decide everything!

I can help with more info if you ask.

Someone put together a Google Docs spreadsheet for this:
