Why should you do an internship at Carbonite?
Carbonite is a leader in one of today's most exciting technology areas: cloud backup. And we're focusing on a huge and under-supported market, small and medium businesses (SMB). We're a leader today, but we're focused on the future. We're looking for the best and the brightest young talent to join our winning team. What are you looking for? A job? Or a future? Are you focused solely on making money? Or is it important to make a difference?
Carbonite offers a fun, yet challenging fast-paced environment. As a member of the engineering team, you will work in an Agile/Scrum environment where we follow 2 to 4 week sprints. With Agile Coaches/Scrum Masters running the daily standups with Product Owner, Dev Teams, and QA, we strive to deliver continuous improvements to our working software.
It's a fun-filled place where engineers have a great work/life balance, flexible hours, unlimited vacation, opportunities to work with multiple groups and projects, as well as the opportunity to grow their career by solving critical business problems.
Based in two desirable locations -- Boston's Downtown Crossing or in the middle of Silicon Valley -- we provide an environment for our employees to overcome technical issues using their problem-solving skills, technical expertise, and passion for developing cool products. No Dilberts needed here. We want only the best.
You will be mentored by a senior software developer and will also experience working with other groups, including product management, user experience, QA, and other groups. You will gain the well-rounded background required for career success.
Applicants will work, learn, and grow in either our Boston or Sunnyvale locations. You will learn that Carbonite is sensitive to the importance of having a life as opposed to just making a living. We want well-rounded, well-grounded professionals. On your abundant free time we encourage you to take advantage of the cultural and historical attractions, fine dining, night life and variety of natural settings for simple enjoyment of nature available both in the Boston and Sunnyvale areas.
Getting to work is easy. (Yes, really!) In Boston you can get to work through a wide variety of public transportation: Red/Orange/Green/Blue T stops and Commuter Rail (South or North station) are easily accessible.
These are just some of the areas where we offer opportunities to the right intern
