Constraint Technologies Vacation Student Program

Constraint Technologies International (CTI) welcomes applications for the 2008/2009 Summer Vacation Student program.

CTI offers a 10 to 12-week paid Summer Vacation Work Program for the best Australian Computer Science students in their penultimate year of study.

The program provides:

• A good salary.
• A scholarship, potentially; we pay the best vacation students to finish their studies.
• Future employment, hopefully, at a small, progressive, cutting-edge Australian software firm.
• Experience in all aspects of real software engineering that you just won't get at uni.

And, most of all:

• A challenge. You're getting top marks at uni, so we know you've got the book-learning. Now see how you go with real, complex software in a commercial environment.

Each student is assigned a range of enhancements to CTI's existing software products, including components which solve problems using optimisation; business rules formulation and evaluation; and front-ends for result analysis.

These products are written in C++ and Java, with some Haskell. Accordingly, excellent skills in any one of these languages are required, and will be tested in interview before an offer is made.

Our offices are conveniently situated in the centre of Melbourne, and we offer an informal work environment with an emphasis on results.

Vacation students receive a good salary. High performing vacation students may be offered graduate employment positions to start the next year following the completion of their studies. High performing vacation students also may be offered a scholarship, to support them through their final year of university.

Applications should include the following information:

• Curriculum Vitae
• Transcripts showing subjects studied in the final year of school and so far at university, including results achieved (where available).
• A short cover letter stating why the applicant is interested in the position.

These should be sent to vacation_hiring@contecint.com.au by the close of business on Friday August 22nd, 2008.
