Why Ziva?

Ziva is a fast-growing start-up founded in 2015. In 2020 we grew from a team of 19 to 55 with talent from all over the world. We are not a hierarchical company and we strive to live our company values of Excellence, Collaboration, Courage, and Openness. What this looks like is a supportive team environment where every team member shares knowledge, supports each other, and is empowered to contribute meaningful work. Because of our size and work ethos, interns at Ziva Dynamics the knowledge and experience you will gain from Ziva will be unmatched!

What will your first week look like?

Your first week will be learning, absorbing the work styles of your team, and a lot of meetings with not only your team but with key stakeholders to ensure you feel supported. We connect you to different team members for virtual coffees. You set up your software and hardware and deep dive into learning our software.

What does a typical day look like?

A typical day at Ziva could start with you coming into our newly renovated office or at your home with a start-up meeting with your team. At the stand-up meeting, you will discuss projects in progress or what needs to be done. Throughout the day while you are working you can stay in touch with your team through Slack and reach out if you need any support. You can join our virtual coffee chat or check out dailies plus participate in Lunch n’ Learn and Show N’ Tells.

How will Ziva support you?

Our goal is for both Ziva and yourself to get the most out of this experience, meaning our People + Culture team, your colleagues, and technical leads. We work with you to create a project based on your professional goals, so you know you are making a difference.

This is a recent testimonial from one of our interns:

“This past week I completed my term as a Software Development intern with Ziva Dynamics where I worked as part of the Ziva VFX team. I'm very proud to have been among Ziva's first cohort of interns. I had the time of my life learning and even developed some cool features for Ziva VFX. This experience was very rewarding and I must say a big thank you to the people who made this possible.

As I head back to school, I look forward to where this experience takes me. See you later Ziva!”
