Twitter is hiring software engineering interns in San Francisco. http://twitter.com/jobs-university.html

If you don't mind me asking, what exactly are you looking for in candidates? I applied with what I felt like was a fairly strong resume (two years working for a RoR shop, a summer doing research on create a javascript security sandbox via WebWorkers), and didn't even get an interview. This is starting to sound a bit like a complaint, but I'm not trying to complain here, I'm just curious. What _are_ you looking for?

There's a list of qualifications here: http://twitter.com/job.html?jvi=ohuuVfwU

Sorry, I can't say why you specifically didn't get an interview. There are a lot of factors to consider and a lot of candidates. No recruiting process is perfect. If you're really passionate about working at Twitter, please re-apply and include a cover letter. cc me if you feel like it (dloft) and I'll make sure you at least get a response.

Twitter is really a great place to work, filled with smart, productive, passionate and unabashedly quirky people. If you're one of those, I sincerely hope that we hire you.

I'm the test lead at Animoto. I can't speak for the dev team here, but I, personally, would love to hire a test dev intern here in NYC.

Want to create a model-based test for our platform layer (in Ruby)? Want to create an AI to combat our back end Java "director" AI (yeah, in Java, of course or tell us how you'd rather do it)? Want to test render code (as in "game dev" sort of render code - perf-sensitive code that grids out video and sync'd audio to the limits the hardware will allow)? Do you hate "the cloud" (Amazon's in our case) and want to show everyone how fragile that is? Well . . . I would welcome an intern who wants to understand any of those things deeply and break dev code. So pick one and tell me how you want to break it.

The company supports open-sourcing your test code. Share it. Put it on your resume. Put us on your resume!

I only want someone who wants to blow up and/or set fire to and/or just do horrible, horrible things to the dev code.

My name is Drew. I break things for a living.

You? Write code and want to SMASH things? Obliterate them? Pulverize? Have other destructive fantasies but don't want to talk about it? Ask for me at devjobs@animoto.com with the subject "SDET Intern".

Please specify if you are hiring unpaid interns! Also, remember that no one likes an unpaid internship ;) (RichardPrice, please add this to the post?)

I know too many startups trying to get cheap or free labor from young college kids. Before you try that, better make sure it's legal (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/03/business/03intern.html)
