Overview of the Opportunity
An internship on the BitSight engineering team is a great way to learn about software
development in a fast paced, dynamic startup environment. This internship is fully remote but
you are welcome to come work in our Boston office.
Our team is working on multiple strategic efforts, all of them directly influencing our ability to grow as
a company. A few examples are:
- Our core data processing engine processes tens of billions of records daily, combining data from over 150 unique data sources, on sensors deployed throughout the Internet. We are continually iterating on our data pipeline, in order to handle the ever-increasing volumes of data that it needs to process on a daily basis.
- We are nearing the completion of a transition of our microservices into a Kubernetes environment. As part of this effort, we have begun to leverage Kubernetes to enable a serverless architecture for certain applications.
- We are revamping our Web application to handle increased scale, both in data and number of users, due to our increasingly global user base.
We continue to introduce enhancements, significant new features and entirely new products, by finding
innovative, new insights in the rich sea of data we ingest. We are looking for talented interns who are
hungry to learn. We value people with the computer science fundamentals to use a variety of technologies
amp; languages and pick up new ones when needed. After an introductory period where a mentor will
introduce you to our technologies, standard development practices, and code base, you’ll work on a small,
cross-functional Agile team to design amp; ship features and evolve our infrastructure. You’ll do this in
development amp; production environments that use technologies such as Python (Flask/Django), Java
(Spring Boot), Hadoop/Spark, and Javascript/React.js, all running in the cloud and delivered as a SaaS
application. You will be responsible for seeing your code all the way through to production, including
design, task breakdown and estimation, writing automated tests for your code, and soliciting feedback
from other developers via pull request.
Requirements
Qualifications
- Knowledge of at least one modern language (Java/Python/Javascript).
- Ability to pick up new concepts and ideas is more important than mastery of a specific language.
- Results driven. You don’t want to just write code -- you want to ship it and have it used by customers.
- Ability to work independently yet collaboratively in a dynamic startup environment.
- Team-oriented.
- You are inspired amp; motivated by the energy amp; ideas of teammates.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with Git, Jira, Jenkins or Docker
- Public cloud platforms such as AWS
- Software development amp; delivery in a SaaS environment
- Microservices architectures and relevant technologies
- Cybersecurity or information security
