Functional programming (Scala) internship

Paid internship:

• Learn back-end programming with Scala. It’s an FP-OOP language, used in companies such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Wix, to name a few. Some call it theBetter Java. We really like it.

You will:

• Work on real projects with an experienced mentor;
• Help us fix our stuff. We have so much work! If you’re good – you’re hired;
• Learn to use contemporary code version control on GitHub;
• Have your code reviewed by some really smart people;
• Fix real problems that you’d face while working as a developer, not just dry theoretical tasks;
• Learn working on modern-day distributed systems using Docker, Kubernetes etc.;
• Experience the best Slack memes this side of the Mississippi;
• Work in an international team.

Functional Programming:

• Code that is easy to reason about;
• Programs that don’t break when you refactor them;
• Testable code that is easy to maintain;
• Bulletproof programs that don’t fall over for unexplainable reasons;
• Never again experience the pain of a null pointer exception.
