Software Developer / Machine Learning + Artificial Intelligence Intern

We recently reached Goaloop's beta launch and are gearing up for an exciting year ahead! Join us and become important members of our small, innovative team. We are seeking two Software Developer Interns to work with our Chief Information Officer, who received his PhD in Computer Science from Columbia University, and our expert hands-on Director of Engineering, who has been a hands-on developer for 24 years.

Got a goal? Goaloop it! State your goal on Goaloop, and people and resources appear to help you achieve it. Goaloop helps you reach your goals and connects the world through goals. If your goal is to learn the piano, you'll see goals to teach the piano. Connecting goals expands social circles and increases commercial opportunities. Connecting goals, we can achieve anything together!

Individual goals connect on Goaloop to form the world's Goal Market®, where goals and money meet, and more. Goals are the common denominator among all productivity. Funding is optional on Goaloop; 10% of goals set to date are seeking funding. Goaloop has been called "fun," "addictive," "a new model for supply-and-demand," and "revolutionary."

Many on our team have connections to Columbia University. We are a small, growing team, located close to Columbia's main campus in Manhattan. We welcome great candidates near and far; working remotely is an option -- we come together for team meetings, in person and online, depending on your location.
