Quiksilver, Atlassian and SEOmoz: We build kick-ass software for cool companies.

We’re looking for a smart junior developer who wants to help us build our product, while learning all the ins and outs of a small product company. We want you to work on the front-end and on the back-end alike, focus on usability and pretty design, and if you’re keen there’s plenty of work to be done in marketing, customer care, sales, and tech writing too.

Responsibilities:

You’re in charge of small to medium-sized code projects. You’ll start with some simple bugfixes, and then we’ll increase the task size a little every week, until you can work on your own new features more or less independently. We value team work, code reviews and honest feedback, but we also expect everyone to be able to work independently and take full responsibility for their work.

Requirements:

We’re sure you’ve seen HTML and CSS before, and JQuery doesn’t scare you either. Our product is written in Java (using Apache Wicket on Google App Engine) but if you’re great in Python or Ruby, and don’t mind the switch, that’s fine too. We’ve happy to teach you new tricks.

We’re no rocket-scientists, and you don’t have to be one either. We don’t mind if you have no prior official work experience. But we LOVE what we do, and we’re looking for that passion in any applicant. We’re a product company, and we’re after people who have the “product gene”. Send us links to the personal projects you’ve worked on the past couple of years, no matter how silly they may look in hindsight, and we can talk.

This is a paid internship position – depending on your experience, we’ll offer you between 12€/h and 18 €/h, plus a 20% bonus for outstanding results
