InfluxData has a strong commitment to open source, to learning with humility, and to getting stuff done. This is a great opportunity to experience day-to-day life in an exciting high tech company. We integrate our interns as members of our SCRUM teams where they will participate in our weekly engineering planning meetings and contribute using the same engineering planning, review, and testing processes as our employees.
