Our company Automattic — which runs WordPress.com, Akismet, VaultPress, and many other services — is looking for a few stellar summer student interns, specifically to work with us on the VIP team. The internship runs from June 1st through August 31st of 2012, but we are flexible on the dates.
As a paid intern, you’ll be working on a range of projects depending on your skills & passions — everything from writing case studies to doing development work on plugins that improve WordPress functionality for large media companies.
Where will you be working you may ask ? Anywhere ! We are a distributed company and are happy if you work from wherever you are — including your parent’s summer beach house — as long as you have a good broadband connection.
Interested ? Write up a post on your WordPress.com blog and leave a comment on this post with a link to it telling us what you’d work on — for example, a proposed partnership we should do, a UI improvement to one of our services, a killer plugin, an infographic showing off our latest stats, etc.
Looking forward to hearing from all of you.

Is it only for wordpress.com users, or can wordpress.org developers get in on it?
It’s for anyone to apply. For your idea on what you’d like to work on, we are asking you to post it on a WordPress.com site, you can signup for one for free
Do the ideas we propose need to pertain to WordPress VIP or can it involve all WordPress platforms?
We all run the same WordPress — so anything WordPress/WordPress.com/WordPress.com VIP would be great.
Thanks.

What an awesome opportunity. I would have loved to do something like this when I was in school…
Just curious as to when we might be hearing back on the internship. No rush or anything just curious.
We’re contacting selected applicants this week for interviews and will still reply to all applications.
