You say there are internship possibilities, but on the jobs page you link to, it says there are none available. Is this the case? Or can these be arranged informally?

Orlando, FL. Have you ever desired to be a part of something special? Are you tired working in the typical day-to-day developing for a product and company you are not passionate about? Does working for a California-esque start-up that has the potential, financial backing, and hype of the next Facebook sound like the dream opportunity for you? I am searching for tenured, highly skilled, and motivated mobile developer to join an all-star lineup that is growing their development team rapidly. This company has a product which very limited info has been released, but this person will be heavily involved from the ground floor with Concept Development and High Level Design of their technology. Day-to-day they will attend meetings and work on different functionality of their product for a Beta version which will be displayed to the public for the first time later this year. This is a revolutionary idea that could change the internet for years to come and this is your chance to get in the door before this opportunity passes you by. Unfortunately, we can not provide sponsorship for this opportunity. Call Mike, at (407)736-8575 or email at mikeyJAC23@gmail.com if this sounds like an opportunity you would like to hear more details about. I look forward to hearing from you.

Our mission is simple: we all use mobile apps and the Internet, so let's make them better, together. YouEye is bringing user research labs to the cloud. If customer insights are the currency of product development, we are the bank.

The Task

Working at YouEye, you have the unique responsibility of not only making our own products better, but influencing thousands of web products by assisting in the development of a great user research toolset.

Whether you're cranking out some CoffeeScript, integrating an API, or hacking on CSS, we want engineers who care about user-centric design.

The Engineer

You've made something awesome on the web. Whether you've built an entire online web application or coded a killer javascript widget, you know your way around clean design and code.

The Culture

Sure you love making great products, working on open source projects, and telling the tales of great engineering triumphs, but what else are you up to? We're made of musicians, pilots, snowboarders, yo-yo enthusiasts, gamers, hikers, cyclists and comedians. We want to learn from you!
