Linden Lab Looking for Engineering Intern to Help Enhance Second Life's Web Experience

[ad_1]

Interesting new Linden Lab job listing which strongly suggests the company is adding more web functionality to the OG metaverse platform:

We’re looking for a Web Engineering Intern to make a significant impact on our virtual world platform, which has been at the forefront of innovation for almost two decades. We are seeking a highly motivated individual who can help us reinvigorate our passion for virtual worlds and our culture of learning by asking insightful questions and collaborating with our talented team of developers.

This role reports to the Senior Engineering Manager of Web and will use AWS and modern web technologies to enhance the Second Life Resident experience.

Unlike the Senior Product Manager job opening, this one seems ideal for an established Second Life user who knows what web tools need improving/enhancing.

Downside:

As it's an internship, the pay is very much on the low side ($20/hour!), but at least it can be done remotely from 15 states where the average cost of living isn't anywhere near as high as California. (Specifically AZ, CO, FL, GA, IL, MA, MN, MT, NH, NC, OR, PA, TX, VA, and WA.)

Reading between the lines, this is not a role directly tied to the upcoming mobile app, but for the existing community, and for helping test/launch web features already in development.
