🔭 What we're looking for
We're growing quickly and looking for a superstar Software Engineering Intern to join our team. We believe in small, tight-knit teams made of only the best people. You'll work directly with the founding team to develop a platform that users love! We're looking for people who are obsessed with changing the world for the better and believe in technology to do so.
🧠 What you'll do
You’ll be working with NodeJS, ReactJS, NextJS, Bootstrap, Serverless, AWS (Lambda, EC2, DynamoDB), Styled Components, and more cutting-edge tools from our tech stack. Legacy tech? Not our backyard. We promise you won’t be bored.
Build algorithms and rules based on user data to optimize social features and in-app experiences
Architect and build off of an existing node.js server on both express and serverless frameworks
Design data schemas leveraging NoSQL database technologies in distributed production environments
Create delightful user experiences by building interfaces that are simple, easy to comprehend, reliable, and fun
Take ownership for the design, development, maintenance, and testing strategy of the platform
Work with cross functional teams to align on design, milestones, and new features and experiences
Translate designs into React in a very fast-paced and iterative environment
😊 So... Is this position right for me?
Are you someone who can learn quickly, ideally with JavaScript experience? You should also be comfortable working across the full stack, even if you focus on the frontend or backend. Serverless experience is helpful but not required.
Do you love what you do?
Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment with autonomy and independence?
Do you believe in the power of technology for social good!?!?!
Do you love using cutting-edge technologies like NextJS, Styled Components, Serverless, and more (no legacy tech here!)?
Do you ship clean code fast?
Are you good with owning features from the beginning of development through production
Are you okay with wearing many hats? We're a startup after all!
🔥 Nice to haves
Experience building and deploying consumer social apps
You communicate nuanced ideas clearly, whether you are explaining technical decisions in writing or brainstorming in real time. In disagreements, you engage thoughtfully with other perspectives and compromise when needed.
Familiarity with product and design lifecycles, and collaborating closely with designers and product managers
⛷️Benefits
Flexible schedule with weekly, task-based sprints and competitive pay
Dope swag and free pizza (and other stuff)!!
Learn and grow with an award-winning founding team with deep experience in longevity, mental health, product, and engineering.
Timing
Applications will be received and reviewed on a rolling basis, so apply early!
We're flexible - we'll work with you to determine project outlines and timelines.
If you join during the spring or fall, the position will likely be part time and you can expect ~10-20 hours/wk with Big & Mini.
For our summer internship, it will be full time (40 hours/wk).
