Remote Summer Intern

Online education is no longer a novel or niche idea. It is the fastest-growing segment in higher education, accounting for 20% of all enrollees and 35% of graduate-level certificates and degrees. It’s also getting increasingly competitive, as more and better programs are launched each semester. Universities need to go online quickly, economically, and elegantly, creating programs that students can’t wait to tell their friends about and that their professors want to teach.

Noodle helps universities bring programs online with flexibility, transparency, alignment, efficiency, and joy. That’s why more top universities chose us last year than all other online program managers combined. We are a passionate team of technologists, educators, and experts. Online learning has the potential to transform higher education; if you’re interested in being part of that journey, keep reading!

About the Internship Program

Our remote program is scheduled to start June 1st, 2021

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until the cohort is full. Noodle interns are paid $18/hour and work an average of 40 hours per week. If you are applying to our internship program, you must have proper authorization to work in the U.S. for the duration of the program.

About the Role

Ever wonder how education technology actually gets into the hands of students, instructors, and staff? How colleges and universities change their technology paradigms to teach and learn online? How a rapidly growing start-up constantly reinvents itself to promote efficiency and best practices? If so, then this role is for you. The Technical Implementation & Support internship is an opportunity for motivated applicants to develop technical, communication, and project management skills by working closely with The Solutions Architecture professionals at Noodle. Interns will gain experience with all stages of technical implementation and support.

Solutions interns will work closely with their manager, collaborating cross-functionally across teams as necessary.

As our Technical Implementation & Support Intern you will:

• Support the Solutions Directors through implementation of Noodle’s suite of best-in-class software and services by, documenting implementation details, discovering and documenting necessary process changes, and coordinating with internal technical groups.
• Complete and maintain documentation on the university systems integrated to Noodle systems, including the types and formats of the data exchanged and underlying business logic.
• Triage support desk tickets escalated to the Solutions Architecture department, assigning tickets to the appropriate resource for resolution.
• Support in identifying inefficiencies and developing process improvements.
• Identify best practices of our university implementations, ensuring excellence is consistent and design is replicable.

As part of the Noodle community, you will also be able to take part in remote company-wide meetings and gatherings and are encouraged to learn from Noodlers across all our teams and companies, not just your own.

For the majority of the program, interns from all departments will have the opportunity to take part in weekly leadership talks or workshops aimed at providing practical advice for career growth and expanding intellectual horizons. Planned topics include personal branding, design thinking, personal finance, job search strategy, and more.
