About the Internship
Our internship involves bringing on board beginners who have theoretical knowledge but lack the experience of applying it in commercial projects. For newbies, it’s a chance to get over the entry barrier into the profession and test their knowledge, while for us, it’s an opportunity to build a talent pool for commercial projects.
Internships mostly take place in investment projects. These are projects we develop at our own expense to try new ideas, technologies, and form a talent pool for commercial projects. Less frequently, interns may join commercial projects (where we are responsible for deadlines and quality to the client).
We have been conducting internships for many years.
Over the years, we have developed a systematic approach and are ready to explain how everything will work right away.
How to Get an Internship
First, choose the specialty in which you want to intern: Tasks.
When choosing, pay attention to how familiar and interesting the specialty is to you, and its priority:
- High Priority – specialists are needed right now, and those who show the best results will immediately start an internship.
- Medium Priority – there are no vacancies at the moment, but a new project is planned soon or a reorganization in existing projects, which will lead to vacancies.
- Low Priority – your application will be considered, but there are no vacancies at the moment and it will be necessary to wait for a position to become available, and it is unknown when it will become available.
After choosing a specialty, complete the task for it and fill out the form provided at the beginning of the task. After you submit your task, it will be reviewed; the review speed depends on the priority and many other circumstances. Since we receive quite a lot of responses, only those who make it to the interview stage, i.e., the best performers, will be informed about their results. Sorry, but it’s impossible to provide feedback to everyone.
If your task assessment passes, we will contact you via the contact you provided in Telegram to schedule an interview.
The interview lasts up to 15 minutes in Google Meet or Yandex Telemost. The tasks at the interview are to understand your technical scope, and it’s not very bad to perform poorly since the knowledge of candidates is anyway insufficient, and much will have to be learned on the go, but we need to know the volume of knowledge we will be working with.
The second, more important aspect is to understand your interest in the profession and specialty. If the interest is insufficient, there’s a high risk that you will quit the internship, and our mutual efforts to assess your knowledge and involve you will be wasted.
An interested person usually studies a lot of materials on his topic of interest, does his pet projects, completes test tasks, and that’s what we’ll discuss.
If an interview with you takes place, then your chances of getting an internship greatly increase. Depending on the priority of the vacancy and the quality of other candidates, we may (but do not guarantee) offer you commercial terms of participation.
This could be moving to a commercial project from an investment one, or continuing to work in an investment project for money.
How the Internship Goes
The internship starts with integrating the specialist into the development team: you’re added to work chats, gain access to work repositories, and get your first task.
From this point, you join team events, where you discuss your progress, ask questions, and seek help when necessary.
Your team will include both experienced developers and interns.
Initially, the internship will be unpaid, with rare exceptions. The unpaid period mostly depends on you, on how quickly you can show useful results. Usually, this doesn’t happen before a month into the internship.
After you’ve shown the results of your tasks, we may (but do not guarantee) offer you commercial terms of participation.
This might mean moving to a commercial project from an investment one, or continuing to work on an investment project for money.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you really get asked these questions often?
No, actually, we came up with these questions and answered them to prevent or dispel any doubts and provide clarity.
How much will I get paid for my work?
At the beginning of the internship, you won’t receive anything.
In the form, you will have the opportunity to indicate your desired rate, which we will consider when offering you commercial terms after the internship, and it can also be discussed in conversation. If you don’t specify a rate, we will offer a fair value based on the requests of other candidates.
Why should I do all this?
In these projects, you can expect to gain industrial experience in a real development team and the opportunity to continue collaborating with us on a commercial basis if you perform well. Note that we invest our time in these projects, and our time is quite expensive.
Why do you do this?
Our main goal is to acquire potential developers for our commercial projects who are motivated for professional development and interested in their work. Moreover, we anticipate the commercial success of the products in the future.
I’m afraid my knowledge and skills are not enough
According to our experience, the best developers come from those who doubt their abilities because doubts drive continuous development. If you no longer have doubts about your abilities, it means you have stopped developing. So, if you have doubts, you might be a potentially strong developer, and this is a good opportunity to show yourself, especially since you won’t have the same commitments as if you were participating in a commercial project.
I have an idea for an investment project
Tell us about it! If the idea is worthwhile, we will take it into development, with you as the author.
I don’t have a higher education, development experience, citizenship, something else, can I participate in the internship?
Any formalities do not matter to us; we only care about your interest in the matter and the confirmation of this interest in the form of acquired theoretical knowledge.
I want to develop programs. I don’t know anything yet, but I have a strong desire to learn. Can I participate in the internship program?
No. We do not provide training in development technologies, but only offer the opportunity to test the knowledge you have acquired on real tasks. You can write to us about which project and role in the internship interested you, and we will advise what knowledge you need to acquire. Possibly, after some time, we will need additions to these projects, or new projects will appear, then you can participate already prepared.
Where will the internship take place?
We expect remote participation. You will be able to develop at any time, but regular events in Discord will be scheduled, and participation in them is mandatory. We will choose the time for these events considering all wishes.
Why does your site use a free template?
It’s cheaper than using a paid one and much cheaper than developing our own.
