Software Engineering, Intern (Summer 2017)
Our internship role blends learning with impact. Interns take ownership of impactful projects from day one, and the learning never ceases from there. You'll influence the initial specs for the feature, build/modify the backend APIs (mostly Rails), write the front-end code that consumes said APIs (mostly Backbone.js and React.js), and be responsible for ongoing improvements once the feature is deployed.
Here’s what you’ll do:
- Own what you build as you architect, test, and refine the Gusto platform
- Tackle a wide variety of technical problems throughout the stack and contribute daily to all parts of our code base, using our development workflow
- Work with our product and design teams to understand customer pain points, come up with solutions, and then prototype, iterate, and launch daily
- Be surrounded by individuals who are doing the best work of their lives and loving every moment of it
Here’s what we’re looking for:
- Rising Senior (class of 2018)
- Passion for creating memorable experiences for customers
- Interest in technologies such as Coffeescript, Backbone.js, React.js, Ruby, and Rails
- Appreciation for a test-driven, code review culture
- Well-structured, easily maintainable, well-documented code that balances beauty and pragmatism
