Software Engineering Intern

About us

Accessibility testing against WCAG 2.1 AA is part of every release. Production studios in New York City and abroad record and edit thousands of hours of video a year. Founded in 2006, we now have 860 employees.

The internship

• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
