Internship Overview

About Nitro

Nitro was founded in Melbourne back in 2005. It started with a team of three, a single product, and a goal to provide the world with better tools for everyday work. Our team now spans the globe and works with over half of the Fortune 500, but we have not strayed too far from our roots. We put our customers, employees, and communities at the center of everything we do.

What we do

Three reasons to intern at Nitro:

• You will develop connections with our current engineering team and grow your network which will better prepare you for your future after graduation.
• Your work matters. The actions you take during your internship are helping Nitro improve our products and benefiting all employees.
• We invest in your success. You will experience a thorough onboarding to prepare you for projects of your own and an ongoing support system to help you succeed.

Hear from our previous interns:
“It was nice to be new technologies that are cutting edge in the industry and being able to learn them while also understanding more mainline tech like Jenkins and docker. It was very beneficial.” “Being able to join the systems team was very beneficial. They were extremely welcoming and made me feel part of the team right from the get-go.”
- Colm Kenneally

“I like the way Nitro works and does things. Everyone has been helpful and nice. I really enjoyed the projects I got to work on.”
- Kealan O’Connor

What our managers think of the value of hiring interns:
“I've taken students from the TCD program on 3 occasions before. I have been extremely impressed with the quality of the work produced by the students, both at a theoretical level but also importantly at a practical level. In the few months we worked together they all made a meaningful contribution to the company and they learnt a lot about applying their skills to real world problems”
- Brian O’Mullane, Director of Data Engineering
