Looking to hire an intern

Hey,

I am looking for some reasonably "young" _and_ talented programmer guy to hire.

First project is pretty simple and could be fun to work with — there are some chances to face with scalability issues, funny tricks, non-mainstream technologies.

I am an experienced developer, so I would like to start building own team designated to create interesting application.

Scope of technologies to be experienced (or not): Ruby, Merb, Javascript, Erlang, AMQP, Io, Lisp, ...

If interested, please drop me an email at [email protected]

Thanks.

Can the intern work remotely? If not, where are you located? Does the programmer have to be "young" and a guy?

IMO, the best place to find an intern like you're describing is the Computer Science department at your local University. I cold called a well-respected CS professor and ended up with the best programmer I had ever hired. She started full-time three months later.

As for now I am considering only remote interns, since I am traveling a lot this year. He or she should be "young" in terms of creativity/brains/etc.

I don't have any _local_ university :) But anyway that's a good idea.

Not sure where you're located and whether hiring laws apply to internships at startups, but you should consider posting the qualifications you'd like in the ideal candidate and see who shows up -- regardless of age and gender. Who knows, you might be surprised!

The only qualification I really need is being smart person and have some preliminary experience withanything funny like Ruby, or Lisp, or Io, whatever :) Gender and age are not THAT important (see comment above)
