Fedora summer 2016 internships.

There are three USA internship positions open at Red Hat on the Fedora Engineering team. These internships are all available this coming summer (2016). Read below for some more details.

I feel like my recent blog posts have all been about openings. But it’s nice to be able to offer them. Each internship on our job site is linked in the bullets below, so you can apply for any for which you feel qualified.

• Software engineering internship – This internship focuses primarily on Python software development. You’ll take designs and build them into widgets for our Fedora Hubs project. You’ll collaborate with our applications team on back-end technology for the community. You’ll also work with our infrastructure team on production deployment. This internship also includes other related projects, not limited to just Hubs. The intern is preferably in Westford, MA for the summer. But that’s not strictly required for a well-qualified candidate with experience working in a global open source project. (In other words, if you can succeed at keeping touch daily with the team as a remotee, don’t let the location throw you.)
• User experience and design internship – This intern will work directly with our designers Máirín Duffy and Ryan Lerch on research and design for Fedora projects such as Hubs. You’ll do user research and work on improving interaction in our web apps and other associated projects. You’ll collaborate with the other interns, our whole development team, and the Fedora community at large. This job is in Westford, MA.
• Web development internship – This intern will work primarily (but not exclusively) on web apps at the front end. You’ll turn design into reality, and streamline existing applications to designer specs to build a more unified project. As with our other internships, you’ll be able to explore and work on other projects too. You’ll work with our design team, the community Websites team and our application developers to create and improve web tools our contributors will use for years. This job is preferably in Westford, MA for the summer. But we’ll consider remote for an exceptionally qualified candidate.

These jobs should end up being quite competitive. So I encourage you to get your application in as soon as you can!

Last year, we were fortunate to have superb interns who produced fantastic results. Meghan Richardson worked on many of the initial designs for Hubs in its early stages, interviewing potential users and then creating the workflows and feel for this new tool. Nate Yazdani worked on statscache, which compiles data from our messaging bus to make it available quickly to other apps, without constantly crushing our data store.

Red Hat is a fantastic company at which to intern, and we pride ourselves on an open and inclusive culture. These are not “fetch coffee” jobs — you’ll work on real problems alongside real experts.

We can’t wait to see what you can do!
