Quansight is hiring a
Remote Open Source Internship
\nQuansight is invested in supporting the open-source PyData ecosystem. An internship at Quansight Labs is an opportunity to contribute to a PyData open source project, with dedicated mentorship from a project maintainer or contributor and interacting with the whole Quansight Labs team.\n\nWe aim to take on around 8 interns over the July-September period, who will each work on a challenging topic and, if successful, will have significant value to the open-source community.\n\nPotential projects include working on NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn, Jupyter, conda-forge, data-apis.org, and more. They range from building a realistic performance benchmarking suite for a package to improving interoperability between two projects, new feature development, creating a design system for accessible data visualization, and implementing a new website design - see https://labs.quansight.org/ for more about the types of things we do in Labs.\n\nDuring the internship, youโll get to refine skills such as:\n\n\nContributing to open source\n\nPair programming\n\nConducting effective code reviews\n\nCommunication and collaboration\n\nTime management\n\n\n\n\nInterns will be working under the guidance of experienced mentors, who will guide and help review each project. They will also be able to meet and network with other interns in the same cohort and the larger Quansight team.\nEligibility and internship details\n\nPrevious experience contributing to an open-source project is helpful but certainly optional. Good working knowledge of Python and Git is necessary*. Other relevant skills - e.g., continuous integration, testing, benchmarking and documentation tools, and other programming languages like C, C++, Fortran, CUDA or JavaScript - may be beneficial for a particular internship project but are not required to apply.\n\nWe are also actively working on the technical writing, design, and accessibility spaces and welcome applications from folks interested in these areas (*Note that for applicants interested in areas such as design, Python and Git are not required, but instead, weโd like to see familiarity with design tools such as Figma or Penpot).\n\n\nStart date: flexible, mid-June to mid-July\n\nDuration: 2.5 - 3 months\n\nTime commitment: flexible, you should be able to commit between 25-40 hrs/wk\n\nEnglish language: we are a remote international company and we communicate in English. You do not need to be a proficient English speaker to apply, but should be able to communicate in written and oral English.\n\nCan be, but does not have to be, part of a formal curriculum. This program is open to current and non-students (including career changers, returners after a break in the workforce, boot camp alumni, self-taught developers/designers, etc.) with any educational background.\n\nThis is a paid internship.\n\n\n\nApplication process\n\nSubmit your application by the 4th of March 2024\n\n\n\n\nIn addition to your CV, we ask that you send a one-page cover letter. This is an opportunity to detail specific projects, your motivations, and anything not covered in a traditional CV template. You can also talk about why you are interested in working on open-source software and your goals for the internship and beyond.\n\nIf you have a portfolio, GitHub profile, blog or other resources, we ask that you share a link to them as well.\n\n\nInterview loop\n\n\n\n\nFirst interview: in the first call, we want to focus on the essentials - we want to get to know you and what you are passionate about. For the main part of the interview, weโll ask you some general questions and maybe some light technical questions, and weโll also ask you to talk us through a project (this can be any type of project - maybe one you developed at school, during a boot camp, as a side project, at your last internship or professional position). This project deep dive is a chance for you to tell us what excites you in your work or studies.\n\nTechnical interview: Our technical interviews do not involve code challenges, meaning they donโt focus on live coding or whiteboarding. In this stage, you can do a walkthrough of the code you wrote or some code connected to a relevant issue on an open source project. We will do a portfolio or design critique for design interns and discuss topics like user experience, communicating design decisions, and documentation.\n\n\nResults are communicated to candidates: we will aim to make a decision as soon as possible (within 2-3 weeks, but of course, this will depend on the number of applications we receive). To make this decision, we get everyone who interviewed you in a virtual room. We look at all the elements of your interview process and make a decision. By doing this, we ensure that we can make a fair decision and get a measured view of which project and mentor would be the best fit for you.\n\n We want to ensure that youโre in a space where youโll get to work on the things you enjoy doing and are passionate about and get the support and guidance you need throughout your internship. \n\n\n\n \n\n#Salary and compensation\n

๐ Please reference you found the job on Remote OK, this helps us get more companies to post here, thanks!
When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy equipment which they then pay you back for later. Also never pay for trainings you have to do. Those are scams! NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Posts that link to pages with "how to work online" are also scams. Don't use them or pay for them. Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. A good idea is to check the domain name for the site/email and see if it's the actual company's main domain name. Scams in remote work are rampant, be careful! Read more to avoid scams. When clicking on the button to apply above, you will leave Remote OK and go to the job application page for that company outside this site. Remote OK accepts no liability or responsibility as a consequence of any reliance upon information on there (external sites) or here.
