Most of our projects use Haskell to some extent, so this is a great chance to get experience applying functional programming to important real-world problems.</div><div><br></div><div>Please pass along this posting to anyone you think might be interested--even if they don't yet know Haskell!</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you,</div><div>Ryan Wright</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div># Galois Software Engineering/Research Intern #</div><div><br></div><div>Galois is currently seeking software engineering and research interns for Winter/Spring 2016 at all educational levels. We are committed to matching interns with exciting and engaging engineering work that fits their particular interests, creating lasting value for interns, Galois, and our community. A Galois internship is a chance to tackle cutting-edge, meaningful problems in a uniquely collaborative environment with world-leading researchers.</div><div><br></div><div>Roles may include technology research and development, requirements gathering, implementation, testing, formal verification, and infrastructure development. Past interns have integrated formal methods tools into larger projects, built comprehensive validation suites, synthesized high-performance cryptographic algorithms, written autopilots for quad-copters, designed the syntax and semantics of scripting languages, and researched type system extensions for academic publication.</div><div><br></div><div>We deeply believe in providing comprehensive support and mentorship to all of our employees, particularly interns. We provide our employees with a steward who regularly checks in to ensure that they feel welcome and safe in the Galois community while gaining real value from their experiences.</div><div><br></div><div>## Important Dates ##</div><div><br></div><div>Applications due: October 1st, 2015</div><div>Internship period (flexible): January through April, 2016</div><div><br></div><div>## About Galois ##</div><div><br></div><div>Our mission is to create trustworthiness in critical systems. We’re in the business of taking blue-sky ideas and turning them into real-world technology solutions. We’ve been developing real-world systems for over ten years using functional programming, language design, and formal methods.</div><div><br></div><div>Galois values diversity. We believe that differing viewpoints and experiences are essential to the process of innovation. We look broadly, including outside of established communities, to deliver innovation.</div><div><br></div><div>## How to Prepare ##</div><div><br></div><div>An internship is an opportunity for learning and growth as an engineer. To make the most of the opportunity, we ask that candidates have experience reading, writing, and maintaining code in a realistic project. Many university courses involve multi-week collaborative projects that provide this type of experience.</div><div><br></div><div>Most of our projects use the Haskell programming language and the git version control system. These tools aren’t often taught in computer science classes, but there are many free resources available that we recommend for learning:</div><div><br></div><div>- [Learn You a Haskell] for Great Good!

The internship is paid competitively, and interns are responsible for living arrangements (although we can certainly help you find arrangements). Galois is located in the heart of downtown Portland with multiple public transportation options available and world-class bicycle infrastructure.</div><div><br></div><div>## Application Details ##</div><div><br></div><div>We’re looking for people who can invent, learn, think, and inspire. We reward creativity and thrive on collaboration.
