Stealth startup (YC W12) - Mountain View, CA - Paid INTERN (local)
We are building a secure Platform-as-a-Service that is more secure and compliant than existing PaaS systems. Existing PaaS offerings cannot support applications that need to comply with regulations such as HIPAA or PCI-DSS, and we are building a PaaS based on public cloud infrastructures (AWS, Rackspace) that can do exactly this.
You will be working with the founding team and get valuable experience in working in a startup environment. 12-14 week internships typically starting in early May. Competitive pay.
What we're looking for
* A great programmer with a solid CS background. We want someone that spends time hacking outside work and has fun doing it. Ideal candidates would have deep experience in Web programming with some popular framework. Ruby on Rails / Django or a Java-based framework is good, but knowledge of multiple frameworks is a plus.
* Reasonable AWS (or Rackspace) experience. This includes using EC2/EBS/S3/RDS/IAM including the API, automation using Chef (or Puppet), managing and monitoring instances, etc.
* Some systems programming experience including a reasonable understanding of OSes, networking, and crypto / security. It would be a huge plus if you have substantial experience with C/C++ and systems programming on Linux.
* Above all, a fast learner. We don't care if you don't know a technology, as long as you have the desire to learn.
To apply, please send a github/stackoverflow/whatever profile or links to other stuff you've done (and a resume if you must) to REDACTED_EMAIL.
