Western Wake Farmers Market Internships
Western Wake Farmers Market (WWFM) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission of increasing the resiliency of the local food system. WWFM has two new projects to execute:
  1. Developer Intern: WWFM is looking for a developer intern who can help develop portals (ideally three – website, and two apps, on iOS and one Android) for a new local food box business. The idea of the business is to give consumers an option to select local farm goods to be delivered in a box to their door. Customers would select the items they want from a rotating selection of seasonal ingredients. The system needs to be easy for our staff to update – specific items available, farm details, prices, etc – and easy for customers to use quickly and routinely.
    Intern Requirements: This position requires someone who is fluent in design, back-end development, and has a familiarity of digital marketing best practices. Experience with Wordpress, iOS, Android, Adobe Creative Suite, or Photoshop is great. An ideal candidate has the experience and ability to design  and complete functional eCommerce sites that are secure, user-friendly, fast and drive customer interaction.
  2. Developer Mkt. Mgt. Application Intern: WWFM wishes to develop a market management application (iOS input and web interface for reporting) to track market metrics such as customer counts, vendor attendance, vendor sales, weather on market day, etc. The system would be used to make management decisions on which vendors to admit, predict overall sales given variables that drive sales (weather, holidays, etc) so vendors can appropriately plan inventory, justify future capital investment in market site projects, etc. 
    Intern Requirements: This project requires knowledge of databases (SQL, etc), basic statistics, user interfaces (such as Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, Looker, SAS, etc). Knowledge of web dashboard design and interface to mobile data input (iOS) needed. There is no customer or eCommerce interface to this project.​
To apply: Please submit your resume along with examples of your previous work, to Jim (jim@wwfm.ag). Remember, we sell produce. Flashy designs are good for some pages, but ideally, we are looking for designers who don't over design or over complicate user experiences. We aim to produce sites that are clean, easy to use, secure, fast, and effective.
