Development Internship at ONe+K

(Apply: email HR jobs@one-k.com by APRIL 18^th)

 

At 1K Studios in Burbank, we build jaw-dropping interactive web and mobile products. We currently have 4 internship positions for this Summer:

 

SOFTWARE DEVELOPER/ENGINEER POSITIONS

 

1. Front-end

 

Build interactive front-end elements with heavy visual effects and animations achieved by the combination of CSS, HTML5, and JavaScript. You WILL NOT build typical functional front-end elements like drop-down list or validations (these are old school and boring). Instead you WILL build jaw-dropping parallax effects and the likes using hardware-accelerated techniques and pushing CSS, HTML5, and Javascript to their limits.

 

You need to have a strong sense of design/visual and want to be an expert in animation effects with Javascript. Exposure to CSS/Javascript library/framework such as Bootstrap, jQuery, Backbone, or AngularJS would be beneficial.

 

2. Back-end

 

Build CMS and eCommerce backends that power our front-end and mobile applications. You will use open-source platforms such as ExpressionEngine, Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, etc.; architect databases; integrate with 3^rd party services such as video delivery platforms, fulfillment centers; and build web services on top of those existing platforms.

 

You need to understand the MVC model in web applications and are passionate about high-performance and scalable backend architectures. Hey, where should we cache the data? And of course, you need to be sufficient in Linux/LAMP environment.

 

3. Mobile

 

Build user-facing products on mobile, iOS and/or Android applications. You will build user-friendly consumer applications based on technical wireframes and specifications. Think about mobile applications that interact with many web services to communicate and retrieve/exchange data (one of those services could be the backend CMS or eCommerce described above). Performance & seamless user experience are the keys here.

 

You must have at least published an iOS or Android app, or be able to showcase a running app on your device. Most important of all, you are a heavy mobile user and want your app to be in the hands of thousands and millions of users.

 

4. Tools

 

Build in-house software and custom tools. You will develop continuous-integration tool where all code commits will be pulled, built, and deployed automatically for our web products to staging and production environments, and for our mobile products to over the air distribution like HockeyKit and TestFlight. You will develop scripts to compose our code commits into release notes. You will build various other tools that support the software development cycle of our web and mobile products.

 

You will learn the most about engineering process in this position. Out of the 4 positions, you need to have the most general development knowledge for this. So tell us all technical things that you know. Exposure to Hudson/Jenkins, and command line scripting would be beneficial.

 

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

•         Grad or undergrad (junior/senior) that is fluent in one OOP programming language.
