To aspiring developers

Trainee program at Surf

Start your career in IT at Surf. If you already have some work experience and you’re willing to grow in the field you’ve chosen — join our team!

During the 2-3 months trainee period, you will be supervised by an experienced mentor. By the end of it, you will have gained experience working on a real-life project and a chance to get a full-time offer.

What do you need to do?

To become a trainee, you need to:

1. Send a letter to job@surfstudio.ru giving a brief description of your experience and saying you’d like to become a trainee
2. Do a decent job of writing your test project
3. Successfully pass the interview with our HR and head of department

Here you’ll find the technical specifications for the test project.

What is the program like?

• Onboarding into the company. We’ll get you familiar with the basic procedures: where to refer to when having problems, how to track your working hours, and what in-house regulations we have. We’ll also grant you permission to access the main services we use at work.
• Test project. We’ll help you do your iOS project in accordance with the best practices and under the supervision of our mentors.
• Real-life project. We’ll help you blend into your team and start doing real-life tasks on a fully functional project.

Materials

If you’ve only just started your way in iOS development, feel free to check out our selection of learning resources for trainees (and more).

If you want to map out your education several steps ahead, try looking for a “roadmap of an ios developer” on the internet. In our opinion, you’ll find the most interesting ones:

• in one of the GitHub repositories named iOS-Developer-Roadmap;
• and in one of the blogs on the internet.

You can also find some projects to get your creative juices flowing and boost your skills on the page of one of our summer schools.
