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.)

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.

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.

Is any startup in the US taking interns from Canada? Good schools up north (UofT, W'loo, etc.) :)

martinshen2• 15 years ago

As a Canadian (Tdot).. I know it can be relatively difficult to get a job down here in SF. I was lucky enough to go to a US school which gets me OPT for a year. Then I can issue myself a TN-1 or H1B.

For Canadians.. try to get a TN-1!

mcpherrinm2• 15 years ago

I'm a Canadian who has worked in the US a number of times as an intern. J-1 visas were easy to get for me through my University career office and employer working together.

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 :)
