You'll get to work on one of the most popular indie apps of all time, touching code that reaches millions of people. If you don't have all the above skills, you'll get a chance to learn them. All positions are for interns only.

A passion for music and/or music games is required. Drum experience not necessary. If you like music and code, this is your ideal internship.

Email me at shane [at] crimsonjet.com to apply, including a little about yourself and some projects you're proud of. Include link to Github if you have one. New York or San Francisco preferred, but anywhere is okay.

It's certainly not a problem or a point of frustration for me - I found a gig - but you should know that in conversation with other recent CSU grads you have kind of slid into the "don't waste your time" category. I hope that feedback is somehow helpful.
