A very exciting looking job has just come up in Ireland. They contacted us directly, so are obviously particularly keen on establishing a relationship with us. It seems they might be wanting more than one of you.
I’m expecting they might send a fuller advertisement in due course, but why delay? Get a CV and covering letter to John Brosnan <john_brosnan@rapid7.com> now!
I am told the salary will be €20K. This is stuff many of you can do, and would probably enjoy.
Copy&paste follows:
At Rapid7 Galway, we design and develop the Insight platform network sensor. This software analyzes network traffic using deep packet inspection techniques to give Rapid7 customers a unique level of visibility into network traffic, including user activity, file and database monitoring, intrusion detection, bandwidth usage, and Internet access. As an intern you will research, design and develop our software systems. Our engineers work on projects from requirements capture and analysis, through design and coding, to deployment and support.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
As an intern in our R&D group you will be involved in the following lifecycle activities:
• Software architectural and design; helping to interpret and analyse requirements.
• Implementation; software development to written technical specifications and coding standards.
• Testing; finding and fixing faults.
• Participate in reviews during the lifecycle.
You will be part of a multi-skilled team working closely with specialists from across a number of disciplines and in other Rapid7 locations. You may be working on a number of projects at the same time, or just one. Our projects range from rapid developments where tight timescales apply (a few weeks) to full scale developments (up to 2 years).
Learning “on the job” is a key part of your development. You will be working closely with experienced engineers on real projects from day one.
