I don’t know if you internship searchers are too young to remember the days of Napster and AudioGalaxy, but when I was in high school, finding music to download for free online was about as easy as it could possibly be. It’s kind of sad that even though technology has improved drastically, we still long for the “good ‘ol days.” SeeqPod, an Emeryville, CA based startup, has responded to the demand for finding free music online by taking the search engine approach. They don’t host any music, but they scour the Internet for playable audio files that you can listen to on their site. Their software finds a surprisingly wide array of musical titles (give it a try and see if it can find your favorite song), which is great, but it hasn’t come without some legal issues. Warner Music sued Seeqpod earlier this year, but there doesn’t seem to have been a resolution to the case yet. Despite the lawsuit, SeeqPod is still bullish on their future considering the fact that they’re hiring for a number of positions, including paid internships.
Seeqpod is currently looking for interns in Informatics Application Development. These are software development internships with some pretty heavy science work involved. The interns will work directly with the Chief Scientific Officer to work on problems like:
They’re certainly not your everyday internships. These are part and full time internships, and they appear to be offered year round with a rolling application process. If you have what it takes, they want you, whenever it is. The interns will be paid pretty well – between $12 and $16 an hour, which is actually pretty typical for software development internships. If you’re interested and want to apply, send a cover letter and resume to SeeqPod’s Chief Scientific Officer, Raf Podowski, at raf@seeqpod.com.
