Wanna learn how to create state of the art websites?
At Messbusters, our mission is to make it possible that our civilisation evolves faster towards the Sci-Fi world we're all dreaming about. We do this by launching useful products and failing, pivoting, learning and finally succeeding. It's the most exciting work place ever, we're working remotely and it's insanely fun to be able to do all this.
This is who we are, and what we love to do. And we're looking for similar people. Are you one of us?
Our values
- Lean
- K.I.S.S.
- Agile
- Transparent
- No dumb stuff
- Small actions that make a huge difference
- No assholes
What is your role?
- As an intern, your role is to learn programming by starting with small projects and growing into bigger projects.
- You are free to choose your programming language of choice, as long as it's not on our blacklist.
- We strongly believe in learning by doing, and the internet has everything you need to assist you. You can also get help from our heroes, in case you get stuck.
- Keep others in the loop with your progress, and we will do the same with ours. Transparency is one of the keys to success.
- Document your code! At some point, you will feel like working on another project (yes, you will be able to do that, as we grow), and other heroes need to take over your code. We have discovered that writing the docs in parallel with coding is the optimal way.
- Test your code before you commit! Otherwise, you will slow everyone down.
The profile of a soon-to-become hero
- Positive and friendly attitude.
- Communicate with others, be a team player! There is no politics in our dojo.
- Decent problem solving skills.
- Having the right attitude is more important than technical knowledge. It takes much more time to train your attitude, than to train your coding skills.
- Attention to details. Don't butcher our design!
- Ability to have fun while working. Grumpy cats are not welcome in our dojo.
