Summer Internship For A Python Programmer
Love wine and programming? We have the perfect opportunity for you this summer.
We're looking for an intern to help us add new features to 1000 Corks.
The right candidate will know most, but not necessarily all, of the following:
- Python. Of everything listed, this is probably the most important to know. But, if you're a great Ruby or Perl programmer who can learn Python quickly, that might be okay.
- SQL. We use PostgreSQL. But if you've used MySQL, it should be easy enough to figure out how things work. We've also started to use Redis, so understanding the whole NoSQL movement will be useful.
- JavaScript. Double bonus points if you've used jQuery.
- All those pesky web technologies: HTML, CSS, AJAX, and other relevant acronyms.
- Linux (we use Ubuntu), Apache, distributed version control (mercurial), etc.
We use TurboGears but don't necessarily expect you to have used that platform before.
We're hard at work making sure that 1000 Corks is the best wine search engine. This is a great chance to be part of that team. The founder's last company, Penguin Computing, became one of the largest and most successful Linux server companies in the world and changed the way supercomputing is done.
The internship comes with a stipend to cover your living expenses. The exact amount will be determined based on your knowledge and experience. But it should cover your basic living expenses.
You must spend the summer in the Santa Barbara area. No telecommuting. The internship runs from June 21 to September 10, 2010.
To apply please send email to jobs at 1000corks dot com with the subject "Python Summer Internship". (Hopefully that's enough of a clue that you can figure out the email address, but the spam bots can't.)
Please include your cover letter as the email body (in plain ASCII text). Attach your resume as a PDF.
This opportunity is open to anyone in the area, but we particularly encourage UCSB computer science students (both undergraduate and graduate students) to apply.
