We are looking for a student interested in mobile app development and working with Mongo DB, REST APIs and Node JS. The project aims to improve app features for the companion app to which our smart glasses will connect to. Possible features include enabling and optimizing global volunteer calling, managing, cleaning and optimizing our database and integrating third party services onto our app and glasses.
Seleste is changing the assistive technology industry by developing the highest quality smart glasses product with better AI and video-calling while remaining financially accessible!
Current features we plan to improve/build include video call optimization, voice assistant and A.I optimization. A student would work on one app feature and deliver the following work product:
- Use technologies (React Native, Node.js, C and Azure Cognitive Services) to receive, analyze then send data to our glasses in order to add value to our existing app features.
- Understand and manage our backend infrastructure with AWS, Node js and Mongo DB
- Create react Components and integrate with third-party API's
- Document research done to ensure smooth knowledge transfer
- Write high-quality code that will go through code reviews from experienced developers
Onboarding calls with the students to explain the scope of the project and set milestones. There will be weekly check-ins to make sure that the students do not have any questions or concerns. Additional support will be provided on an ad-hoc basis as I am happy to meet if need be. The student will also be able to talk to the other interns for help or advice. The student can also connect to our five technical advisors all of whom have 10+ years of development or computer science research experience! There will also be regular updates that will be provided by the students in terms of their progress.
We will plan to communicate with our virtual intern(s) using phone calls, email and through the company slack
