Want a cool tech internship?
Do NOT miss this one!
Big picture opportunity?
Online retail sales continue at double digit growth rates despite a slow economy. Most likely, your future as a professional will get deeply impacted by the tectonic shift to internet sales--surely your consumer future will.
So how would you like an insider's view of online sales? How would you like to help a top 300 internet retailer define a next generation ecommerce technology infrastructure? What advantage will you gain by getting involved in big-time ecommerce while still in school? More specifically, what will an internship in a young-company atmosphere mean for your prospects when it comes time to enter the job market, start your own company or compete for a slot in grad school?
What's the work?
As a Technology Intern, you will work with management to develop detailed requirements for our next generation ecommerce infrastructure. This will involve gaining a deep understanding of the entire ecommerce technology ecosystem. You will take an existing high-level ecosystem map and develop more detailed requirements for:
(a) Content Management,
(b) Inventory and Warehouse Management,
(c) Order Management,
(d) Accounting,
(e) Payment processing,
(f) Shipper integration,
(g) API development and management,
(h) Customer Support and
(i) Business Intelligence and Reporting
Following requirements development, you will assist management in identifying open source and commercial-off-the-shelf systems that could potentially satisfy the requirements. Ultimately we must develop a technical and commercial plan to migrate from a current highly custom platform to a new ecosystem that relies as much as possible on standard systems. In summary, this internship involves:
• full ecosystem mapping,
• requirements analysis,
• solution and vendor evaluation,
• buy vs open-source vs build, and
• transition planning.
If not clear, you will do important and meaningful work. Typically, technology professionals do not participate on projects like this until they've spent 5 or more years in industry.
Qualifications/experience requirements?
This work sits at the intersection of technology and business. Candidates must hold at least a 3.2 GPA or higher in pursuit of a B.S. or Master’s degree, ideally in the field of Computer Science, Management Information Systems, Computer and/or Web Information Systems, Computer Engineering or similar program. The intern may receive course credit for the internship (subject to your school’s requirements) and will be hired to work 16-20 hours per week for one semester.
