From Day 1 at Vertica, you’ll be working alongside our engineers to enhance the Vertica analytics platform in ways that make it easy for our customers to store and analyze data. You’ll be an integral member of our Engineering team while having a dedicated mentor who will answer all your questions and encourage you to learn as much as possible.

As a Vertica intern, you’ll have a substantive project that you complete during your time here. At the end of the summer, you and the other interns participate in a project fair where you present your work to members of the Cambridge team.

Here at Vertica, we have a work hard, play hard philosophy. During the summer, we have hiking trips, lunchtime volleyball, and outings like canoeing on the Charles River or playing games at Dave and Busters. As a group, you’ll walk away with 15 new best friends.

Here’s what the summer 2016 interns said about Vertica:

  • “I got to contribute in a meaningful way to an ongoing project.”
  • “A measured approach to development means that my code has a significant impact because it’s been thoroughly tested and has a major impact on the product.”
  • “The people at Vertica are very diverse and supportive. No question is too stupid.”
  • “Having a dedicated mentor was great.”
  • “I love Bagel Thursdays. Some days, I have two or three bagels.”
