Who's hiring interns?

This thread is for companies that are hiring interns.

Academia.edu is hiring intern engineers in San Francisco.

Academia.edu helps academics follow the latest research in their field. Here are a few bullet points that sum up the atmosphere in our team:

- obsession with exceptional engineering

- obsession with building a great web product, and a great user experience

- intellectually inquisitive - we like delving into ideas, whatever the ideas are about

- fun and friendly - we enjoy each other's company a lot, and have a great deal of respect for each other.

We are hiring intern engineers. Here are some of the technologies we work with: Rails, Nginx, Node.js, Redis, Memcached. We are based in downtown San Francisco.

More information about the team, and about how we think about software engineering and product development, is here http://academia.edu/hiring. Specifics on our developer internship program are here http://academia.edu/hiring/developer_intern

Just out of curiosity, how did you manage to get a .edu domain for this startup?

Domain was bought in 1999. They did not restrict .edu to accredited universitities-and-colleges-and-things until 2001, and academia.edu was grandfathered in.

That's really interesting.

Fog Creek Software is hiring interns in NYC. $5000/month plus free housing and metrocard and lunch.

http://www.fogcreek.com/Jobs/SummerIntern.html

Point to self: Intern is making more than what I do. Time to pay myself. :P

Ugh, seriously...

I too was bummed to get lesser money in my paycheck as an entry level engineer than as an intern in the same company. But then I realized that I get stocks, health insurance, travel and education fund, bonuses and get reimbursed for a lot of crap.

1000Memories is looking for an engineering intern. http://1000memories.com/jobs#engineer_intern

We're trying to change the way personal history is recorded. Right now, we're focused on letting families and friends remember the lives of those who've passed away.

If you're interested in working for a small (but very well funded) YC company in SF, get in touch with me at michael@1000memories.com.

Please specify if you are hiring unpaid interns! Also, remember that no one likes an unpaid internship ;)

(RichardPrice, please add this to the post?)

I know too many startups trying to get cheap or free labor from young college kids. Before you try that, better make sure it's legal (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/03/business/03intern.html)

Facebook is always looking for interns (SW Engineering isn't listed on the intern page but I'd be very surprised if we were already full).

http://www.facebook.com/careers/ http://www.facebook.com/careers/department.php?dept=interns

As a Facebook employee, can you do anything to move my resume to the "top of the pile", ie through a referral?

(This is a throwaway account, but I'd love to get in touch.)

I think it is a bad idea to create a throwaway account to ask for help. I would think you are hiding something from us?

cough I'm seeking an internship for the summer. 2 semesters away from a BS in CS. Just got my first 'fun' test app onto the iOS market, cloudedbox.com/supersoaker.html. I'm still working on the proof that I'm worthy, but I cannot tell you how much I'd like to experience the techniques and tribulations of software engineering with a company anywhere in North California.

I'm the test lead at Animoto. I can't speak for the dev team here, but I, personally, would love to hire a test dev intern here in NYC.

Want to create a model-based test for our platform layer (in Ruby)? Want to create an AI to combat our back end Java "director" AI (yeah, in Java, of course or tell us how you'd rather do it)? Want to test render code (as in "game dev" sort of render code - perf-sensitive code that grids out video and sync'd audio to the limits the hardware will allow)? Do you hate "the cloud" (Amazon's in our case) and want to show everyone how fragile that is? Well . . . I would welcome an intern who wants to understand any of those things deeply and break dev code. So pick one and tell me how you want to break it.

The company supports open-sourcing your test code. Share it. Put it on your resume. Put us on your resume!

I only want someone who wants to blow up and/or set fire to and/or just do horrible, horrible things to the dev code.

My name is Drew. I break things for a living.

You? Write code and want to SMASH things? Obliterate them? Pulverize? Have other destructive fantasies but don't want to talk about it? Ask for me at devjobs@animoto.com with the subject "SDET Intern".

Hey, what does your frontpage have anything to do with what you do? Maybe you're using linkbait articles to attract users to your actual feature which is unrelated and buried deep?

Thanks for the question, it's a very good one. We are still working on developing an information architecture that makes more sense. As it stands, we've focused the home page on our editorial content rather than UGC (which tend to focus on Bieber for the most part and has massively quality variance). As noted, some of our better content & features often get buried.

Twitter is hiring software engineering interns in San Francisco. http://twitter.com/jobs-university.html

If you don't mind me asking, what exactly are you looking for in candidates? I applied with what I felt like was a fairly strong resume (two years working for a RoR shop, a summer doing research on create a javascript security sandbox via WebWorkers), and didn't even get an interview.

This is starting to sound a bit like a complaint, but I'm not trying to complain here, I'm just curious. What _are_ you looking for?

There's a list of qualifications here: http://twitter.com/job.html?jvi=ohuuVfwU

Sorry, I can't say why you specifically didn't get an interview. There are a lot of factors to consider and a lot of candidates. No recruiting process is perfect. If you're really passionate about working at Twitter, please re-apply and include a cover letter. cc me if you feel like it (dloft) and I'll make sure you at least get a response.

Twitter is really a great place to work, filled with smart, productive, passionate and unabashedly quirky people. If you're one of those, I sincerely hope that we hire you.

Thanks dloft, I appreciate the response. I know you can't really answer why _I_ got rejected, I was just curious if there was something in particular they were looking for. Applying to companies and getting rejected tends to give very little feedback, and I'd like to know what I should be focusing on improving. I guess that's kind of par for the course though.

www.recojeans.com (site is getting a new skin right now and is a a little ugly)

We're a sustainable fashion start-up that has a full time developer but could use some tech help. Our fabric is made from denim factory scraps. It would be a good way for a programmer interested in business to learn marketing (I've learned a huge amount over the past 8 months).

Just shoot me a message at kevin@recojeans.com if you're interested.

Would totally apply if I didn't have horrible fashion sense.

On the other hand, maybe I could learn a lot.

When I joined, I knew nothing about fashion. Now I know a teensy bit. Shoot me a message if you're interested!

Why would a reader of Hacker News want to intern anywhere? Go start a start up!

A company that you will devote 3 months to ?
