Our bench is in the back of a strip-mall storefront, where we image laptops and swap failed drives. We started in 2008 and have grown to about 32 people.
The internship
Our Platform team is five engineers working fully remote across two time zones. The intern picks up small backend tickets first and moves to bigger features once comfortable. The company is based in Savannah, the US. Our team works from several countries. You will intern remotely with our team in Savannah. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Eastern time.
