Looking for students interested in RIAs and working at Adobe
Are you enrolled in a University in Canada, interested in a summer job with Adobe and interested in Flex, Apollo and rich Internet applications? I'm looking for 3 students to join Adobe this summer: two as software developers and one as a community relations expert. Interested candidates should: a) read the job descriptions below, b) be blogging and actively involved in the Flex community (you can start now if you're not doing that already) and c) email me their CV at mpotter@adobe.com.
Software Development Intern (2 positions)
The EDBU product marketing team has an immediate opening for a Software Development Intern located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The software developer will play an instrumental role in the adoption of Adobe Flex, Apollo and ActionScript. The student’s primary responsibility will be to write ActionScript libraries to popular web services, such as eBay, Amazon and Google and other large web companies. They will be expected to blog regularly, create and post content to the Adobe Flex Developer Center, and respond to questions and participate in mailing lists and forums. During their 4-month employment, the student will gain a deep understanding of ActionScript, Flex and Apollo. This is an unbelievable opportunity to work with some of the coolest technologies available.
Applicants should be enrolled in second year or higher in a computer science or computer engineering discipline. They should have an understanding of Java, JavaScript, ActionScript and XML, and developing applications with IDEs, especially Eclipse. Applicants should have experience applying these technologies outside of school in extra curricular projects, especially software programs or websites developed in their free time. A deep understanding of web services and APIs from major web companies is considered a plus.

Position Summary
The EDBU product marketing team has an immediate opening for a Community Relations Intern located in Ottawa. This person will play a key role in informing Adobe about community activities related to Adobe software, especially Flex, ColdFusion, LiveCycle and Apollo. The student’s primary responsibility will be to monitor popular blogs, forums and mailing lists for questions relating to Adobe technology. The student will be expected to respond to issues as required, and to forward them to Adobe representatives if they are unable to respond. The student will also work with the product marketing team to create responses to the issues that arise.
Knowledge and Skills
Applicants should have a combination of business and technical experience. A student in an engineering and management program would be ideal. The applicant should have excellent written and verbal communication skills. The applicant should have a deep understanding of online communities, either running them or participating in them. The ideal candidate will be a motivated self-starter, and one who gets involved in extra curricular activities.
