Are you passionate about learning about high scale, distributed systems? Do you enjoy a challenge and relish pushing yourself to learn and grow in an ever changing environment?
Do you want to work with talented people who solve hard, important problems? If you said yes… read on and come join our awesome team.
As an intern at SendGrid you will join a small, versatile, and passionate team as we continue to push our technology forward to deliver ever more high quality email. Day to day you will learn how we design, test, deploy, and maintain software solutions which send hundreds and hundreds of millions of emails per day.
While we do send 3% of the world’s wanted email, SendGrid is much more than an email company, and our mission has much greater scope. To achieve this mission at our scale requires expertise from nearly every area of computer science. Our engineers routinely delve into the intricacies of data structures, algorithms and protocols, investigate and apply esoteric domains like machine learning and routinely operate multiple high scale No-SQL systems. As a software intern at SendGrid you will have the opportunity to be exposed to all of this daily.
At SendGrid you will have the opportunity to write mission-critical code that will enable us to achieve our goal of simplifying communication between businesses and their customers.
You are going to be challenged, you are going to learn, and you are going to learn how we solve problems few people have ever faced in technology. If you are looking for a job where you can just Google the answers to the challenges you face, SendGrid is not for you.
This is a paid internship beginning in the summer of 2016.
