Your Day

We will adhere to the Scrum methodology, a common practice used by many companies, ensuring your schedule mirrors that of an intern at Amazon:

• Daily Scrum standup (optional if part-time)
• Weekly activities including Scrum retrospective, backlog grooming, and planning
• Biweekly demonstration presentations

Your time commitment is flexible and entirely up to you. However, the more time you invest, the more benefits you will yield. We suggest dedicating six hours per day, ideally split into two sessions: three hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon. The work will be carried out on your own computer.

During the call, we will discuss your academic and career aspirations and propose a few sample projects to align with your objectives. There will be an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have. Once the payment for the first week has been successfully processed, we will be ready to kick-start your internship!
