Intergral GmbH IY positions (6 possible)

Posted on by

Intergral (http://www.intergral.com) are an SME near Stuttgart, Germany.  I visited the company a few months back and it is a fantastic place to work (it is a ‘spin off’ set up by two ex Hewlett Packard employees from the UK).  They work in English so German is not necessary.  There is an Aber student there this year.  You need to be very good technically and have a strong work ethic…  I copy a couple of comment the CEO passed on to me:

“A trend has been noticed in the series of interviews we have had thus far. A lot of the applicants have been very focused towards the design and building of websites. Whereas, Intergral is looking more for the design and creation of ‘web applications‘ rather than ‘web sites‘. It may be worth mentioning to students with an interest in the web position to ensure they have at least a good understanding of server-side languages such as PHP in addition to the front-end technologies listed in the job description. Additionally, they will definitely benefit greatly from becoming acquainted with cloud architecture and some of the frameworks/methodologies used to accomplish it.”

Here are the job details:

SyQic Summer Internships

Posted on by
Summer internship offers for second, third and MSc students.
Darius
Hi. My name’s Darius and I’m a software developer at SyQic Limited. We’re an international IPTV company based in Kuala Lumpur who specialise in supplying Asian video-on-demand to diaspora communities. I was offered an internship opportunity with the company after graduating from the MEng at Aber Comp Sci. As part of the placement I lived and worked in Malaysia for a month, an experience I enjoyed immensely. The company offered me a permanent position at their UK office at the end of the placement which I eagerly accepted.
I work with the development team at SyQic’s office in Gerrards Cross, just on the outskirts of London. I’ve also travelled to Kuala Lumpur again since starting to work directly with my colleagues in the Far East.
We’re currently in the final stages of a project to create a new product called Yoonic. It’s revamping our content management and distribution systems as well as creating a brand new front-end app range. All of this presents several interesting challenges which I’ve enjoyed tackling over the past few months. Now we’re on the threshold of an exciting new stage in the project as we deploy with out partners and look in the future to design and add features that will increase the value of the platform to our subscribers.
SyQic’s offering several internship placements this summer that would be great experience for recent graduates. Whether you’re interested in smartphone app development, web development or video delivery there’s something for you here. For an opportunity to work on an interesting and exciting project and get some valuable work experience, apply now. There are permanent positions in the company up for grabs as well at the end of the placement!
