Ask HN: Looking for interns / entry level?

113 points by dschobel ↗ HN
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.

Submitted my resume (but forgot to attach cover letter, darn), thanks for the heads up! Seems like it'd be a cool place to work.

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).

Would you consider candidates from Canada?

Where in Canada are you?

Are there any age restrictions? (High School Junior, 17).

META: It'd probably be more helpful for this to show up in the fall instead of in the spring. Many students are extended (and accept) internship offers prior to the start of the Spring Semester.

Editted to add: This is is no way a complaint about this thread showing up now. I'll definitely be forwarding it along to folks I know here and do appreciate it. I'd just appreciate having two, one with the fall recruiting cycle and one with the spring.

kluikens
This is true.

But some CS majors, like myself, are still free.

alexgartrell
It's probably worth adding that I'm quite pleased with the internship offer I've been extended and that when I really would have appreciated it was during freshman/sophomore year when options were more limited.

I just think it'd probably help out the companies looking for interns (realistically, possible future hires) to get in early.

I hope it's OK to post this here, but I'm looking for an entry level position in the software industry myself. An internship would be great as well, especially if there's a possibility of getting hired full-time afterwards:

We're looking for an intern to live in our guest room near Lake Tahoe and program. Email me at andrew@gaiagps.com.

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 senior at WPI, an ECE major. I also have a good CS background. I have experience with systems programming and software defined radio. For contact info and my CV check out: http://users.wpi.edu/~dkelly/

My first preference is to work in the New England area, but I'm open to anything.

We're looking for an intern eager to learn Ruby in the Miami area. Should be a hacker type and know at least one computer language in-depth. We're paying a modest stipend monthly $1,000.00 - eric@w3matter.com

Your front page is missing two "."s, which is ironic considering that you use "Period" as a sentence. Hope this helps.

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...

chrischen
Wow I'd love to do this but currently engrossed in my own project at the moment.
pjharrin
Thats looks like a great opportunity, wish you were looking for marketing people
gommm
send me an email, a friend of mine was looking for marketing people... so I'll forward him your contact...

Do you know any Marketing positions in the NY area?

Snaptic is hiring interns and full time.

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 hn@snaptic.com

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

Are there companies here who are looking for marketing interns that embody the hacking lifestyle?
myoung8
Yes, shoot me an email if you're interested.
gsaines
Sure, shoot me an email if you're interested. I checked out your blog, and you're actually dealing with quite a few of the marketing challenges that we're facing in the educational market.

The comment about marketing to students: "Marketing to college students is like being in marketing boot camp. You deal with one of the most distracted audiences and if you get them to do stuff you're good" seems to ring true for me.

Also, I liked your idea for online social marketing for Universities to students. It's an interesting concept, I wonder if it will bear fruit.

coffeemug
I couldn't find a way to contact you from your sites. Could you put up your contact info?

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.

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 p.ringwood@gmail.com.

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.

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

I'm a 4th-year Cognitive Science student in Vancouver who can handle average computing projects, including experience in python, pylab, and django. I'd like to stay in the Vancouver area as I have classes as well. I have an understanding of writing, human factors, and user-interface design. I also have focused knowledge in the fields of psychology, computer science, linguistics, philosophy, and biology. (I like being a generalist).

We're looking for full time paid summer interns in the Cleveland area. Looking mostly for programmers, but if you're a marketing person with a hacker-oriented outlook, shoot me an email (included on my profile). We can fly you out here and help you find summer housing. We're looking for folks with backgrounds (or willingness to learn) python, actionscript, or general web dev prowess.
