Candy’s mission is to deepen our connection to experiences that bring us joy. As fans. As collectors. As people creating lives, we’re passionate about living. We understand that connection because we’ve chased it since we were kids. We are unapologetic fans and serious collectors who see limitless possibilities in the digital revolution that’s disrupting – more like exploding – the way we engage and experience our favorite sports, music, art, and cultural icons.

We know the passion of being a die-hard fan and the need for the experience beyond the bleachers. We’re building a fully immersive storefront where fans can not only buy, sell, and trade their digital assets, but also experience a fully immersive marketplace that gives our users enablement beyond imagination with their digital assets. 

Fandom. Reimagined.

SO YOU WANT TO JOIN CANDY?

We’re on the lookout for interns with a growth mindset to help build the future of Candy. We are looking for a motivated, passionate, and self-driven individual with knowledge of software development and a strong interest in NFT’s (non-fungible tokens) and a strong understanding of cryptocurrency. As we tie both tech and fandom together, we are looking for a developer who can provide creative solutions, thinking outside the box but still being able to take direction from our engineering leaders. 

Our internship program isn’t just a job; we offer real world experience and opportunities to make an impact to the future of the NFT space. As a year-long intern, you will join our Engineering team and get a view into the development of one of the fastest growing start-ups in NYC. The kind of person that will thrive in this internship is someone looking to learn and gain insights into software development fundamentals, foundational development practices, and the ability to make an impact to the metaverse.
