Developer Intern (May- September)
Would you like to intern with one of the brightest Dev teams in North America? A tight-knit group of some of the best developers, problem-solvers, and software engineers around. They’re scary-smart. They love what they do. And they’re using their coding genius to make the world a better place. This isn’t just an internship — if you've got the chops, it’s a launchpad for a lifetime of success.
About Us
At AlgaeCal, we’re driven by a single idea. To end the fear of bone loss. It’s a big mission. In the United States, an estimated 54 million people have fragile bones. And they’re scared. Scared of snapping a bone. Scared of being forced to quit their favorite hobbies. And worst of all, they are scared of losing their independence.
The good news? AlgaeCal is the world’s only clinically backed natural solution to this problem. We help thousands of people say goodbye to fear, fracture, and frailty. If that excites you, you’ll find no better place to continue your career than at AlgaeCal.
