Front-End Developer Intern

Please Note:

Because we are not doing in-office interviews and all of our positions are currently remote, we have a new interview process on Google Forms where you can choose a position that you are interested in applying for and record a quick 1-3 minute video on your experience and why you would be a good fit for the position. Don't spend too much time on it, it should be quick and easy just to give us an idea of your background in Computer Science and why you would be a good fit. You can find more information about our internships at https://objectsecurity.com/internships/

The link to the Google Form application can be found at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScsO_ALuNMqAzGHicJfUTjot7al0vgd6_bCFZQ5W6Mn6zWkXw/viewform?usp=sf_link. You must also submit your resume via Handshake as well as fill out the Google Forms to be considered for the position!

Our Company:

ObjectSecurity is a small company in downtown San Diego (we work out of a coworking space). We have traditionally focused on cybersecurity but have branched out into data analytics and AI in recent years. Our award-winning, patented security product is OpenPMF, which uses cool models and algorithms to make it easier to author and maintain fine-grained, dynamic access control policies.

We are doing exciting other product developments, including a supply chain risks analysis product which takes an SAP data dump and turns it into a graph DB, and then runs analytics over it to identify risks. Another cool project is an "AI hacker" development, which uses AI to simulate a hacker.

Front-End Position:
We are looking for an intern with experience working with React, Node.js, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS, as well as working with backend APIs, to develop a frontend user interface to work with pre-defined backend API endpoints.

We are looking for interns for both during the semester and during the summer. Internships last up to 5.5 months and are flexible each week between 8-16 hours per week.

Qualifications:
1) Prior experience with React, Node.js, PHP, HTML, JS, CS and Bootstrap
2) Available 8-16 hours per week virtually
3) Past experience working with JSON objects in JavaScript, and receiving data from a backend API
4) Recommended, but not mandatory: Experience with APIs, ChatJS, creating charts, tables and graphs in HTML, Bootstrap and JS

Learning Objectives:
By working directly on software engineering projects hands-on doing front-end and back-end or working on embedded systems, hardware and/or microelectronics, interns will gain valuable experience in the software engineering field and improve upon their computer science skills as evidenced through their weekly projects.

Expectations:
1) Weekdays and hours worked are flexible based on the student's schedule but should be communicated to supervisor at the beginning of each week.
2) We will communicate with the intern virtually via email, Discord and Zoom. A supervisor will meet with the intern at least once a week to discuss tasks 
3) Materials will be provided to interns at the beginning of the day. All interns are expected to push their code at the end of each work day to GitHub
4) If interns are stuck or run into an issue with their code, they are encouraged to reach out to their supervisor, since someone will almost always be available to help.
