KnowledgeHound (knowledgehound.com) | Boston Engineering Intern

Deploy real-world code to production week one. Develop code and your skills. Spend some time in the sun, working in Boston and Cambridge.

WHAT WE DO: We build KnowledgeHound, a data search and exploration tool, on top of some fantastic technologies. We've got a real product, real revenue from Fortune 500 clients and real investment. We're looking to add some more interns & developers to that mix.

COME WORK FOR US IF:

   - You believe that work doesn't need to be all consuming to be productive and fulfilling,

   - You are committed to getting better at your craft every single day (tell me how you do it!),

   - You want to get your hands dirty in a real code base (sorry, powerpoint doesn't count as work here),

   - You thrive on flexibility not micromanagement and

   - You've built something real (class or side projects or previous internships are great examples)
WHAT'S THE SUMMER GOING TO BE LIKE? We've got a backlog of new features/bugs, and we're overhauling one of our major systems. We want you to join hands with the rest of our tech team and deliver production code. Just like everyone else, you'll pull a new bug/feature from the queue, work with anyone else necessary (e.g. our world-class designer, Joe) and put together a pull request. I'll be a personal resource and I'm dedicated to learning and to teaching. If you hit a snag or don't know the best way to do something, we'll work on it together.

We are a collaborative team. We count on everyone to think critically, bring ideas for improvements and champion those ideas. In other words, "We do pay you to think." Be a part of designing our product and our business.

WHERE IS THIS PLACE? I'm currently our entire Boston office (there are another half a dozen of us at the home office in Chicago and one on the West coast). On that account, we don't have a permanent office here yet. I'm planning to spend the summer working from co-working spaces, coffee shops, home, and places in the sun. I like to alternate between working surrounded by great people and taking a full day somewhere quiet to knock out some "real work" (writing code). If that sounds better than the cube farm, email me (john@knowledgehound.com).

* Full Stack Engineers * DevOps Lead

TeachersPayTeachers - http://www.teacherspayteachers.com (TpT) New York, NY

We're building out a new engineering team at an established startup in Ed-Tech. First, a little bit of who we are:

TpT is the world's first and biggest online open marketplace where teachers buy, sell, and share original educational materials. Our community of over 3 million active teachers connects and shares knowledge on the site every day, and has generated over $100 million in sales of some of the best, original, most creative classroom resources.

Where you come in: although the company has a lot of users and strong reputation, only now are we building out our NYC engineering team to build out TpT's future. We're looking to build a tech dream team that'll be our core. This a green field opportunity to set the engineering culture and how we organize ourselves going forward while maintaining an app at high traffic and still growing!

I'm putting together a 'dream team' so to speak of engineers who will be the core of our NYC team. The site is a monolithic architecture of PHP/MySQL/NGINX and we're breaking it down into SOA.

Application for all three positions: http://grnh.se/l56nvo

Help.com - Software Engineer (DevOps, Full Stack, Frontend, and Backend) - Austin, TX

Backed by $6 million in angel funding, Help.com is building the next generation of customer service software. We're looking for talented and passionate back end and front end software engineers with a few years of work experience to join our small-but-growing team at our downtown Austin office.

We are hiring full stack software engineers, a senior frontend engineer (Backbone, Angular, etc.), and a senior backend engineer (Node.js), and DevOps lead/systems engineer to join our engineering team of 7.

We are predominately in the JavaScript/Node.js ecosystem, but have developed a microservice architecture that gives us immense flexibility in our choice of languages and tools. (We've authored code in JavaScript, Java, and even Haskell.) The engineers on the team make technical decisions and have full authority and responsibility for their work. It's collaborative and challenging, and very rewarding.

In addition to competitive salary, comprehensive health benefits, and equity in an early-stage startup, you will have the opportunity to make an impactful contribution to both the product and the team. You will also get to work with some extremely talented and friendly folks who come from diverse backgrounds and experiences. We're learning a lot from each other.
