AlphaWorld is giving gamers the opportunity to see how they rank amongst all gamers worldwide. We gather data from their gaming accounts, apply a little probability theory and crunch the numbers to calculate a gamers rank. We need you to create gaming platform (eg. STEAM, Blizzard) integrations, an internal data analytics dashboard, and an automated mailing system.

Your main tasks will be within backend development, but we may throw in a little frontend work once in a while. We do not expect you to have years of experience (it's an internship) but we do require you to give it everything you've got. The main tasks you will be working on are:

• Gaming platform integrations: You will get to do at least 1 and possibly more depending on time. If you would like experience working with API's this should be a blast :-)
• Data analytics dashboard: We love data and we need a place to monitor the data we collect. This data will be used to track the overall health of AlphaWorld and tell us where to focus our efforts.
• An automated mailing system: We want to notify our users when they are moving up or down the ladder. Setting up an automated system for this will save us plenty of time in the long run.

You will be here to learn and build on your current skills. Unfortunately, we do not have a backend mentor for you in-house. Therefore, we require you to:

• Have a base knowledge: You are close to graduating or a recent graduate from a relevant IT degree.
• Be self-driven: We need you to be able to take action on the tasks we give you.
• Be critical: We are not backend experts and we need you to speak up if you see something completely off.
• Be structured: Document your work, work on one task at a time, take it slow.
• Not take on tasks you cannot handle: We want to challenge you but just say no, if what we ask of you is way beyond your skill level.

Other than backend work experience we expect you to gain the following from the internship:

• A good basis for founding your own company a little further down the road
• Understanding of how the business and tech team works together to drive growth in a company
• Knowledge of idea testing frameworks
• Understanding of the importance of collecting business data and analyzing it in the right way
• Experience with working in a small dynamic startup
• Understanding the importance of business strategy in a highly competitive landscape

The internship is will run for 3 months starting in mid-late September. We prefer candidates who are able to work full time during this period but we are flexible when it comes to holidays. We encourage all who are qualified for the position to send us their resume. We are interviewing qualified candidates on a running basis so send your application ASAP. Candidates who are qualified will be asked to first take a personality test and secondly a skill test. If you have any questions please send them to anders@alphaworld.io.
