About The Position

At TechSmith, we make screen capture software and solutions that are perfect for anyone who wants to create and share images and videos for better training, tutorials, lessons and everyday communication. We offer paid internships for full-time students in software development, sales, marketing, and more. TechSmith is a perfect place to grow your skills alongside your time in the classroom. Come as you are. At TechSmith, it’s about the work you do, not what you wear. Our dress code is laidback, so everyone is comfortable and can focus on what matters most helping our customers stand out and share what they know. Everyone at TechSmith is valued and accessible. Doors —and minds —are open. Your voice matters, not your title. Company leaders will know your name and are eager for your ideas. You are trusted and empowered to make decisions and get the job done. As soon as you accept your role at TechSmith, you’re officially a “TechSmithie.” It’s like you’ve found your people — smart, fun, and slightly nerdy (OK, maybe a lot nerdy). Each TechSmithie adds their own unique spice to our ever-changing culture. What will you bring to the mix? As a Software Engineer Intern at TechSmith, you will be putting your problem-solving skills and passion for developing great software to use every day. You will work within a team, building the systems that support our world-class software products in a fun, collaborative environment. The software that you create will be a part of TechSmith’s image and video ecosystem. You will see your changes going live on our sites on a regular basis. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include participating in an agile team, programming, estimating upcoming work, reviewing completed work with teammates, as well as other duties, as assigned. If you love technology and solving problems you will fit right in. At TechSmith, every individual can make a big impact, while working in a supportive team environment. As part of an agile development team, you will have a voice in helping to decide what assignments the team takes on. While working directly with User Experience Designers and Product Managers, you will help to decide how to solve our customer’s needs. With the help of Software Test Specialists and your teammates, you will have the time and support to fully test your solutions and create quality work. When you are not coding solutions for customers, you will have the time to advance your skills with the help and support of your programming lead and manager.
