Description
Are you a total nerd when it comes to computer science? Are you looking for hands-on experience with app development and the world of tech startups? If so, this might just be the perfect fit for you!
We are actively looking for high school coders to work with both our technical teen co-founders and our network of professional iOS developers in order to build Hideouts. Our professional mentors are seasoned developers with years of experience at top companies in the industry like Google and YC, and they provide guidance to our all-teen team.
The beta version of Hideouts is currently available on the App Store, but we are continuing to work on updates, improvements, and new features. We are also simultaneously working on a web-based version of Hideouts as well.
Top interns from this program will be offered full-year Junior Developer positions. They may also be asked to join our team as a co-founder and receive a small portion of synthetic equity.
Please note: this internship is completely virtual and remote. Although this is an unpaid opportunity, we offer service hours as a benefit to our teen interns. Interns are responsible for procuring their own devices needed to work. This internship term is for the summer only, from June 8th-August 28th, 2021. If selected to interview, interviews will be scheduled for Spring break and we will email you.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to send them to [email protected]. Please link any available portfolios or previous work (i.e. Github, websites, links to apps, etc.) in your cover letter. We look forward to reviewing your application!

For applicants interested in the iOS app development team, proficiency with Swift and XCode is required. Experience with SwiftUI is recommended, but not required.
For applicants interested in the web development team, proficiency with HTML, DOM, and CSS is required. Experience with Firebase and React/Node.js is recommended, but not required.
Applicants must have a strong background in computer science fundamentals. We are looking for applicants who are team-oriented, excellent communicators, and have great time management skills. Prospective applicants should be available to work full time during the summer (roughly 30 hours a week) and must be entering grades 10-12 in high school.
