The Logikcull internship program is for underrepresented and underserved individuals with an interest in the technology space. We will select individuals for a 3-month long program in which they will be immersed in our Engineering and People teams. This program is an excellent opportunity for individuals trying to transition into the technology space, such as parents returning to the workforce, military veterans returning from duty, or recent graduates from technology boot camps. Interns will be expected to complete online courses throughout the fall and present their learnings on a bi-weekly basis to a small group of Logikbots (that’s what we call ourselves!). They will work hand-in-hand with a person from their department on projects in their field. In addition, interns will present their overall learnings at the end of the internship at a Logikcull All Hands meeting.
Ever watch a crime show and at the last minute, the expert researchers were able to find... that needle-in-a-haystack e-mail that proves the guilt of the hard-core criminal and saves the day? Well, taking away all the dramatics, that is what Logikcull’s software does. You plug data into our software and are able to easily and quickly search for what you’re looking for. Voila! No mysterious expert researchers necessary ;-)
Logikcull’s mission is to democratize discovery. The costs and risks associated with complex data projects like e-discovery, responding to FOIA requests, and conducting internal investigations are skyrocketing as the amount of data increases. Logikcull is transforming these tasks so they can be completed in minutes, by anyone, anywhere. As a result, our customers--modern legal teams from solo attorneys to massive law firms, Fortune 500 companies, and leading non-profit organizations -- can find and use important information quickly so they can focus on their important work, like pursuing a better democracy or saving the Earth.
