We also have an internship program
The programming internship at CaptainU is an opportunity for you to gather the experience to be a web developer, or to successfully start your own app.
Since we're a small team, you'd have the chance to conceive, build, and measure features, giving you the experience required to take a job in web development, or start your own app.
For example, last summer our intern led the re-design and development of our main college list page for athletes, as well as a system for high school coaches to keep track of and manage their players.

CaptainU is always on the lookout for a great UI Designer who is into HTML, pen + paper, and 37s.
We'd also love to hire a Senior Rails developer who is opinionated, loves bdd, frequently blogs about Ruby and is involved in the open source ruby community on github.
