Software Development Intern
Are you a current college student interested in software development and technology? Are you looking for a chance to put away the books and get some hands-on experience? HomeAdvisor has a brand new Software Development Internship opportunity that's just for you!
What is HomeAdvisor, anyway?
HomeAdvisor helps homeowners find and connect to pre-screened home improvement specialists through our web-based and mobile applications. We're one of Denver's largest internet companies, with our headquarters nestled in the foothills near Golden, and we were recently named one of Denver's Top Workplaces thanks to our casual and fun-loving yet highly productive team environment. The ping-pong and foosball tables probably helped, too.
Our software development team is responsible for the technical design, architecture, and programming for our both our customer-facing web-based and mobile applications, as well as for the tools our internal teams use for productivity. We operate an Agile-based development environment where our developers have a direct impact on how our customers use our tools. As our Intern, you'll see how experts from various departments - including product development and software test - work together to launch some of our most innovative and cutting-edge technology solutions.
What you'll walk away knowing:
- What a full-stack shop looks like, what developers at all levels do, and how it all works together.
- How the full software development lifecycle (SDLC) works, from collecting requirements to production support, and how all teams relate to and interact with development and testing.
- What it really takes to build high-impact customer-facing web applications using Java J2EE technologies, Oracle databases, and typical front-end web development technologies (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript/jQuery)
General attributes we'll be looking for in our intern:
- You have general knowledge of software development and object-oriented programming principles, plus recent experience coding in Java. Any knowledge of web technologies, SEO, or software quality assurance will help you out tremendously.
- You geek out over technology and love to learn new things - maybe you're asked by friends to help with technical issues, or you have a server farm set up in the basement, or you examine a site's source code to see how it works.
- You work hard because you like results, but you know how to clear your head when you're just not being productive.
- You're comfortable working with, talking to, and sharing information with a wide variety of audiences.
- You’re currently pursuing a Computer Science degree (and are ideally going into your junior or senior year).
This is a part-time, on-site, paid internship opportunity, requiring 16+ hours of work every week (2-3 days, depending on your schedule). If you're ready to make an impact on an existing development environment while learning more about the inner workings of a large internet company, please send us your resume.
