We’re one of the world’s largest content recommendation platforms, delighting audiences with engaging, personalized content recommendations while serving as the primary engagement partner and platform for the world’s top digital media companies.

We’re looking for talented students pursuing a degree in Computer Science or related fields, who are passionate about supercharging their software engineering skills. Our scale is unparalleled: our systems process 8+ million requests per second and 250+ TB of data per day! If you’re looking to get real-world experience solving unique technical challenges at massive scale, and doing so with an amazing team by your side, we’ve got you covered.

This is a paid internship lasting 12 weeks, starting in late June or early July. Ideal candidates will be in the final year of their program and will already have a solid knowledge of basic coding and CS principles.

 

What can you expect?

  • Become a part of a small and independent team of experienced engineers for 12 weeks.
  • Work on a specific, well-defined project under guidance of an experienced dedicated mentor.
  • Don’t just write code - solve real problems! Collaborate with product managers, engineers and others from the earliest stages of your project to create real impact.
  • Gain experience with the most widely used, industry-standard tech: languages you might end up using include Golang, Java, Python, Javascript and more, depending on your project and the team you will join.
  • Learn modern software development practices: code reviews, technical specs, design reviews, postmortems, automated testing and more
  • Deploy your code to thousands of production servers several times a day with a single click through our state-of-the-art continuous integration tooling!
  • Measure the impact of your work in production using our advanced monitoring stack based on Prometheus.
  • Grow your skills & share your learnings with others through internal tech talks and knowledge sharing sessions!

 

What you’ll bring

  • Strong ability and passion for solving challenging problems with other people.
  • Ability to write clean, maintainable, well-tested code.
  • Good knowledge of software engineering fundamentals.
  • A strong desire to learn and grow as a member of a talented engineering team.
  • A positive attitude - even when things get tough.
  • Great communication and collaboration skills.
  • Reliability - you are a trustworthy person others can count on.
  • Having experience with our stack is a plus, but not mandatory - we value talent, strong fundamentals and dedication to excellence more than the tools you’ve used.
