AI, automation, and software are changing how work gets done. In the roles you may be considered for, you'll help create practical technology solutions that make experiences faster, smarter, and more connected.

Assignments may span software or AI engineering, automation, cloud and platform work, application development, DevOps, testing, IT operations, or technical program management-giving you a chance to build, integrate, troubleshoot, and improve solutions that solve real problems.

What You May Work On

- Design, build, test, or enhance software applications, AI-enabled tools, and technology solutions

- Develop automated workflows that improve efficiency, reduce manual effort, or create better digital experiences

- Work with cloud platforms, APIs, data integrations, development environments, or monitoring tools

- Evaluate technical requirements, troubleshoot issues, and improve the performance, reliability, or usability of solutions

Prior experience with programming languages, software development, AI technologies, cloud platforms, automation tools, testing, or technical projects may be required for some, but not all of the roles within this pathway.

Education & Eligibility

You must be enrolled at an accredited college or university at the time of the internship. We primarily seek rising seniors graduating between August 2027 and June 2028; students graduating in 2029 may also be considered.
