Developers Wanted For Two Internships
Hilltop Partner Network is now recruiting for two internships focused on full stack software development with a strong emphasis on UX/UI, through the Mitacs Accelerate program.
These roles are a great fit for upper-year Computer Science undergraduates, graduate students, PhD candidates, or recent post-secondary grads with hands-on experience in software engineering, UI/UX design, and modern development frameworks.
These roles are remote, collaborative, and designed to give participants meaningful exposure to the innovation and partnership work happening within HPN.
Applications are open now and reviewed on a rolling basis.
Note that all applications must be submitted through the Mitacs site.
