Software Engineering Intern, Summer 2027

Role overview

Join a 10–12 week summer internship beginning in May or June 2027, where you will work with teams building AI-enabled software and high-performance applications. The internship is designed to strengthen your technical abilities while giving you hands-on exposure to large-scale infrastructure and real-world engineering challenges.

As a software engineering intern, you will contribute to systems that support Google’s products and services at scale. The role focuses on designing, deploying, and maintaining infrastructure for complex, distributed environments while learning from experienced engineers in a fast-moving setting.

Google develops technologies used by billions of people across products and platforms that go well beyond search. Engineers here are expected to be adaptable, take initiative, and help solve difficult technical problems across the full stack, from large-scale storage and scalability to new developer-facing platforms.
