We are 90% done building our website, and need extra support to clean up a few page designs, fix some bugs, complete a few pages, and tighten up the main website. For some reason, the last 10% has proved challenging, so the more WordPress experience you have, the better.
We need a takecharge type who can drive this project over the finish line. This is not a starting internship. We need someone who really knows WordPress.
We know the site needs improvements, and you will surely have ideas for how to make the site better. But lets get the basics all working first.
Once our WordPress site is done and improved we have a lot of exciting projects in the works, but not having our WP site done is getting in the way of all that. Right now, we need to put on a blitz to complete the site. Once thats done, we can talk about the future.

Responsibilities (once our WP site is done and were ready to move on):
Contribute to building and maintaining a website from scratch using frameworks.
Connect and maintain a database to the website.
Implement new features according to incoming design and functional requirements.
Document the code base and general structure of the overall product.
Ability to write clean, efficient, and maintainable code for backend functionality and to fix bugs.
Write high quality applications that can achieve massive scale.
Document user requirements, create design documents, develop selfdocumented code, conduct testing, and create user and system documents.
Communicate effectively with the team leads, Director of Technology, and COO as needed.
QualificationsRequirements: The Software Development Intern should have the following skills, education, and experience:
Current student working towards a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, andor related fields.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills (English) are required.
Willing to learn general programming principles and skills as well as specific frameworks and methodologies on the job.

Able to work collaboratively in a teamsetting.
Responsive, consistent, and effective communicator, even during conflict.
Ability to work remotely and on their own schedule in order to make deadlines.
Attention to detail is required.

Submit a portfolio of previous work to demonstrate your skills.
Ability to attend Organizationwide meetings every other week.
