- Must have taken relevant C.S. classes, including at least one Compilers or Operating Systems class. The Fundamentals are important at Veeva
- High work ethic. Veeva is a hard-working company
- High integrity and honesty. Veeva is a PBC and a “do the right thing” company. We expect that from all employees
- Excellent verbal and written English communication skills. Engineering is not all about the code, it’s also about communication
- 0-1 years of professional software experience. We have other jobs for more experienced hires, but our internship is designed for university students just getting going in their careers
- Ability and desire to work in office 4 days/week for the duration of your internship
OUR TECHNOLOGY | We have a variety of different products and codebases, but in general, we use this tech stack:
- System software is Java or Rust
- Application logic is Java, Python, TypeScript
- Front end is JavaScript, React, TypeScript
- Mobile is Swift, Kotlin, React Native
THE PROCESS | Our process is different than most. It is designed to be fast, efficient and respectful. Here are the steps:
- You submit your resume, short cover letter of questions, and take a personality test
- Within one week we will notify you via email if we would like to go to the next step or not
- The next step is a 1 hour online coding challenge in Java or Python
- After the coding challenge, the next step is a single 2-hour interview with a member of our tech evaluation team. Part of this is a coding exercise in the language of your choice (Java, JavaScript or Python)
- Within one week after this step, we will give you an offer, or let you know that we do not wish to move forward
- You will have two weeks to accept our offer or not. If you accept, we will hold a spot for you and expect you to show up on your start date. Accepting an offer and continuing to interview would be an ethical violation in our view
- When you join you will be assigned to an engineering manager in your work location. It’s important to know you are applying to work as an engineer in a location but not applying for a specific team/product
