Software Engineer – Summer Intern<\/div>\n
About Atomic Software<\/div>\n
Atomic is a Brooklyn-based firm that makes digital products for the book publishing industry. We<\/div>\n
have a twelve-year track record of creating elegant technology for some of the largest media<\/div>\n
companies in the world. Our clients include Random House, Scholastic, Harcourt, and Pearson.<\/div>\n
Our products directly affect the future of an industry that is becoming digital right now.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Position<\/div>\n
Atomic is building a team of innovative product engineers, who can invent, spec, prototype, and<\/div>\n
build great digital products. Your job at Atomic will be to bring complete digital products to market:<\/div>\n
Atomic Software is a small company that builds big, so we need smart people who can start at<\/div>\n
the beginning of a product and see through every task to completion.<\/div>\n
We\u02bcre looking for people who have a vision of the whole product: the underlying architecture, the<\/div>\n
beauty in elegant code, the balance between re-use and purpose-built modules, and an<\/div>\n
appreciation for how every technical decision will affect the end user\u02bcs experience. You should<\/div>\n
also be interested in how authors, editors, publishers, and readers will be creating, selling,<\/div>\n
contributing to, and enjoying books in years to come.<\/div>\n
