Summer internships are also available. Our application process is very simple: - Email a CV to recruitment(a)ensoft.co.uk <mailto:recruitment@ensoft.co.uk>by *10am on Friday 28th November* - Interviews (lasting no more than 2 hours) are held the following Tuesday at The University Club, Oxford. - If successful, you'll have a firm offer quickly.

But I would encourage you to apply soon. Whilst everything is designed to take up as little of your time as we can, it is still very competitive for places. Thanks for your time, we hope to hear from you soon.

Here are the events lined up for this week: Ensoft Lecture - Silicon Swords to Software Ploughshares ... <http://ox.compsoc.net/events/2014/michaelmas/learn_to_code_6/> Date:Tuesday Week 6 - 18 November 2014 Time: 01:00 PMPlace:Lecture Theatre A - Dept. of Computer Science <http://ox.compsoc.net/events/venue/compsci_lta/>Tags:Ensoft <http://ox.compsoc.net/events/tags/ensoft/> Speaker: Simon Chatterjee (Ensoft Ltd.) *...: the software networking revolution* Abstract: The high-end networking that makes the Internet has historically depended on extremely exotic and expensive custom hardware. But that is starting to change, and pure software-based networking is starting to become a meaningful part of both the Internet and massive data centers, opening up these walled gardens to anyone who can write code. This talk is an accessible introduction into why, and some interesting problems that have to be solved to enable software to connect the world. Bio: The presenter is Director & CTO of Ensoft, whose experience includes helping to bring into existence the Guinness Book of Records' "World's Highest Capacity Internet Router". *Free food and drink will also be provided.* Bank of America Event - URL Coding Challenge <http://ox.compsoc.net/events/2014/michaelmas/baml/> Date: Wednesday Week 6 - 19 November 2014 Time: 07:00 PM - Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/events/1498664177073358/>Place: Lecture Theatre A - Dept. of Computer Science <http://ox.compsoc.net/events/venue/compsci_lta/>Tags: Bank of America <http://ox.compsoc.net/events/tags/boaml/> Corporate <http://ox.compsoc.net/events/tags/corporate/> Sponsor Event <http://ox.compsoc.net/events/tags/sponsor_event/> Learn to Code: Session 6 <http://ox.compsoc.net/events/2014/michaelmas/learn_to_code_6/> Date: Saturday Week 6 - 22 November 2014 Time: 05:00 PMPlace: Room 379 - Dept. of Computer Science <http://ox.compsoc.net/events/venue/compsci_379/>Tags: Learn to Code <http://ox.compsoc.net/events/tags/learn/> *About Learn to Code* During these events, there will be a mixture of interactive workshops and talks.
