Opportunities at Google EMEA<br>
</span></font></b><br>
Here at Google, we're not looking for people who will just localise
technologies developed in other countries, nor simply engineers focussed on
improving infrastructure. What we are looking for are people with outstanding
technical skills, creativity, potential and passion who can help invent
end-to-end technologies from scratch; stuff that will interest and inspire
millions of users across the world. <br>
<br>
During an internship with us you'll have the opportunity to contribute to
projects in a direct and meaningful way. We're taking into account your skills
and interests when determining which of our small and dynamic teams you will be
joining. Your pre-assigned host will find projects that are right for you and
work closely with you during your time with us.<br>
<br>
We're confident that an internship with us will be a rewarding experience that
will develop your ability to programme at a global scale, deepen your
understanding of Computer Science and allow you to connect with outstanding
people from all over the world.<br>
<br>
Your internship will most likely take place in our engineering centre in <a href="http://www.google.com/support/jobs/bin/static.py?page=studentseu.html&sid=zurich" target="_blank">Zurich, Switzerland</a>. If you are accepted for an internship,
you'll need to move for the duration of your time with us and we'll gladly help
you with all the logistics (visa, accommodation) related to this move.<br>
<br>
Start and end dates of Google Engineering internships are flexible, with a
minimum duration of three months. Internships are typically full-time
positions, are paid, and take place year-round.<br>
<br>
