Why this opportunity exists
To provide learning opportunities during the current pandemic, we are inviting experienced software developers to join us for a four-month paid remote internship. If we continue doing well and raise additional capital, such internships can become full-time, long-term jobs with compensations starting at $50K/year plus stock options.
