About the Job

Venatôre’s Technical Internship Program provides students and emerging technical professionals with meaningful, hands-on experience contributing to real-world technical projects across our organization. Interns are matched with assignments based on their technical skills, academic experience, interests, and current business needs, with potential opportunities in software development, automation, data and analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), cybersecurity, cloud technologies, systems engineering, and other technical disciplines.

The program is structured around 12-week cohorts offered periodically throughout the year. Interns work part-time, up to 20 hours per week, and receive technical mentorship, regular feedback, and opportunities to strengthen their technical, problem-solving, communication, and professional skills. This paid, part-time, non-exempt internship is based in Tampa, FL and follows a primarily remote/hybrid work model, with specific work arrangements determined by project assignment.

Applications for the Technical Internship Program are accepted throughout the year and maintained for consideration during upcoming selection periods. Candidates will be reviewed and contacted based on cohort availability, current project needs, technical qualifications, and available internship opportunities.
