Buzzword Developer Intern

Job ID: GG010923 Company Name: Adobe United States

Description:
Adobe believes in hiring the very best. We are known for our vibrant, dynamic and rewarding workplace where personal and professional fulfillment and company success go hand in hand. We take pride in creating exceptional work experiences, encouraging innovation and being involved with our employees, customers and communities. We invite you to discover what makes Adobe such a great place to work.

Position Overview
What is the Buzzword team up to?
Buzzword, the first real word processor for the web, is a breakthrough in collaborative authoring for documents that matter. The Buzzword team joined Adobe Systems Incorporated in 2007 in order to take Buzzword to the next level, building new features, integrating with the Acrobat.com product suite, and scaling up to hundreds of thousands of users.

The Buzzword application is built on the Adobe Flash/Flex platform, written primarily in ActionScript 3.0, an object-oriented language familiar to people who know Java and C#. Additionally, Buzzword incorporates a server that is written in C# using Microsoft .NET and SQL Server 2005.

Responsibilities
What are we looking for?
The Buzzword team is looking for a software development intern to join us for the summer. You should be a computer science major (or equivalent) going into your junior or senior year, with a passion for writing great code, learning new technologies, and discovering just what it takes to build commercial software. You'll receive mentoring from Buzzword team members, and you'll see every part of the software lifecycle: requirements, design, coding, testing, and release.

What would you work on?
Here is a small sampling of the projects you might work on as an intern on the Buzzword development team:
* New features: if you're a strong contributor, you'll get to work on important new product features right along side the rest of the development team.
* Bug fixing: there's no better way to learn your way around a big code base than by fixing some bugs.
* Prototyping additional browser support: Buzzword relies on some small but critical bits of JavaScript to support keyboard control and system clipboard access, so we are currently limited to IE, Firefox, and Safari. You would prototype versions of this code for other browsers.
* Load and/or performance testing: In order to gauge future hardware needs, you would write a load simulator for our server, execute it, and analyze the results.
* Writing tests: Buzzword has a built-in automated test framework, with hundreds of existing tests that exercise product functionality and check for bug regression. You would write new tests, and analyze existing tests to remove duplicate functionality and improve coverage.
* Experimenting with Buzzword mashups: there are many unexplored possibilities for mashing Buzzword with other applications on both the client side (in the browser) and the server side.
* Site statistics analysis tools: both the Buzzword server and Google Analytics gather ongoing server usage statistics; you would improve on them and build new ways to look at how our users use the product.
* Secret projects: we've got new products coming down the pike that we can't tell you about in this ad.
