Chicago, Illinois, United States Caxy Full time

SUMMER INTERNSHIP FOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPER

We are looking for some green and aspiring developers to join our team for the summer to get some hands-on experience with modern techstack and supporting tech systems software in production environments. Our team is full of curious folks that believe in formal learning, informal learning, and mastery through direct experience to real-world problems for client projects. As an agency, we work in a number of modern tech frameworks, but our sweet spot is the Javascript space. We are particularly fond of the React/TypeScript/Node/Nest/GraphQL stack. We leverage both relational and non-relational DBs (mySQL/Postgres and Mongo/Dynamo) as appropriate fo the situation. We are looking for 4-6 interns to join us for 8-10 weeks through the full software development lifecycle. They will work independently and on teams, in our office downtown.

This position will be mentored directly by Dev Leads, Training Leads, PMs, Developers for technical support. They will also have access to the CTO, COO, and other team leadership for professional development support during their time.
