This is a 16‑week Co‑Op position designed for actively enrolled undergraduate students who are interested in gaining hands‑on, practical experience in their field while contributing to real IBM projects. To be eligible, candidates must be currently enrolled at an accredited university and able to pause their coursework for the duration of the Co‑Op, as students may not be enrolled in classes while participating. This role requires full‑time availability (40 hours per week) during the Spring 2027 semester between Jan 19 - May 7.

We are looking for Software Developer Interns to join our engineering teams. As an intern, you will work alongside experienced IBM developers to design, build, and test software that powers our cloud, AI, and hybrid‑platform solutions. This role is designed for students who are passionate about coding-regardless of which programming language they started with. You will gain hands-on experience in real-world projects, learn modern development practices, and collaborate in an Agile environment where your ideas can make an immediate impact.
What You'll Do
- Support the design, development, testing, and debugging of software in front-end, back-end, or full‑stack environments.
- Work with a variety of programming languages depending on the project (examples: Python, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, C++, Go, Rust, Swift, Kotlin, or others).
- Help build user interfaces using frameworks like React or contribute to back-end services and APIs.
- Use Git and other version‑control and collaboration tools.
- Work with cloud and container technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, and REST APIs.
- Participate in Agile ceremonies, code reviews, and technical discussions.
- Explore emerging technologies, including AI/ML, automation, and cloud-native development.
