5 individual positions are available

We are looking for a student interested in mobile app development and working with React Native, CSS and UI components. The project aims to improve app features for the companion app to which our smart glasses will connect to. Possible features include adding GPS and Google Maps integration, adding the ability to call volunteers, and redesigning UI to improve visual accessibility.

Seleste is changing the assistive technology industry by developing the highest quality smart glasses product with better AI and video-calling while remaining financially accessible!

Deliverables

Current features we plan to improve/build include navigation integration, UI Screen creation and Accessibility testing. A student would work on one app feature and deliver the following work product -

  1. Use technologies (React Native, Node.js, Javascript and CSS) to develop new features and add value to our existing app features.
  2. Test existing screens and redesign UI components to meet accessibility requirements
  3. Designing react screens following Figma mockups
  4. Write high quality code that will go through code reviews from experienced developers
Mentorship

Onboarding calls with the students to explain the scope of the project and set milestones. There will be weekly check-ins to make sure that the students do not have any questions or concerns. Additional support will be provided on an ad-hoc basis as I am happy to meet if need be. The student will also be able to talk to the other interns for help or advice. The student can also connect to our five technical advisors all of whom have 10+ years of development or computer science research experience! There will also be regular updates that will be provided by the students in terms of their progress.

We will plan to communicate with our virtual intern(s) using phone calls, email and through the company slack

Seleste is a new wearable tech startup in Vancouver creating smart glasses for the blind/visually-impaired. We truly believe smart glasses are the future of personal computing and want to use technology to make a positive impact and help an often overlooked group of people. The glasses have a camera so that visually impaired people can video call a friend and ask for help. They can also use computer vision for Reading Text, Object Recognition, and more. You will work directly at the forefront of the new wave of wearable technology while helping to change the lives of the 217 million visually impaired people worldwide.
