You will help to conceive and build prototypes and data visualizations
demonstrating the capabilities of Fast Forward Labs technology
research projects. Each quarter we focus on a different near-future
technology (past topics include image object recognition and natural
language generation). To communicate the value of these technologies
to our clients we make product-style prototypes, data visualizations,
and reports with explanatory illustrations. You would help with the
creation of those materials. By the end of the internship you will be
responsible for creating your own demo on, or visualization of, an
aspect of the technology we focus on for our next report. You will
also be responsible for posting updates to our company blog about your
work.
This opportunity is open to current undergraduate and graduate
students, as well as recent graduates and career changers seeking an
internship position.
Our ideal candidate is interested in both code and design. Familiarity
with HTML and Javascript, which we use to code our prototypes and
visualizations, is required. Experience in design and visualization is
a big plus. If you’re a programmer looking to move more into design or
a designer who has moved into programming this could be a great fit
for you. Primarily, we want someone interested in making stuff, and
who is up for learning whatever they need to learn to get those things
made.
Our office is currently on the lower east side in New York City,
though we are likely moving to Brooklyn (near Barclays Center) at the
end of the summer. We offer a flexible work schedule in a
collaborative and creative environment.
These are paid internships on site in our NYC office. We expect you to
be available for a minimum of 20 hours per week, for a term of two to
six months, beginning in Fall 2016.
