AI Engineering Software Intern

As a full stack Associate Software Development Engineer Intern, you will work alongside senior engineers to design, build, and maintain software across the application stack, from user-facing interfaces to APIs, data stores, and cloud infrastructure. You will write well-tested, maintainable code, take part in code reviews, and use AI coding assistants to speed up delivery while critically checking AI-generated output for correctness and security. Collaborating with product managers, designers, and peer engineers is essential to building resilient, scalable solutions.

What you will do

• Full Software Development Lifecycle: Build features end-to-end with guidance from your team, from design through deployment, across front-end (React/Angular/Vue) and back-end (REST/GraphQL, microservices) solutions.
• System Design and Architecture: Contribute to system design discussions, learn how the team weighs architectural trade-offs, and help define data models, API contracts, and cloud-native and persistence approaches for your project.
• Code Quality, Testing and Review: Write comprehensive tests, follow coding standards, and review code, including AI-generated code, for security, performance, and maintainability. Develop, maintain, and run automated test suites to validate functionality and catch defects early.
• CI/CD, DevOps and Operational Readiness: Use and help maintain CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code, learn to monitor systems in production, and support incident response, including for AI-integrated components.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration and Technical Communication: Work with product managers, designers, and platform teams to scope and deliver features, document your work clearly, and explain trade-offs to technical and non-technical audiences.

ServiceNow hires in multiple other locations, including but not limited to Santa Clara, CA, San Diego, CA, Kirkland, WA, West Palm Beach, FL, and other geographical areas. Work location will be determined based on team growth strategies.

  • Must be available to work full-time hours for a 12-week period, either May to August or June to September 2027.
• Experience using or critically thinking about how to integrate AI into work processes, decision-making, or problem-solving, such as using AI-powered tools, automating workflows, analyzing AI-driven insights, or exploring AI's potential impact on a function or industry.
• Full-stack development skills: Exposure through coursework, personal projects, internships, or hackathons to front-end frameworks (React/Angular/Vue), back-end languages (Node.js, Python, Java, Go), databases, REST/GraphQL APIs, and cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP), plus comfort adopting emerging AI/ML tools.

Preferred Qualifications

• Foundational systems thinking: Exposure to software architecture concepts, API design, databases, or distributed systems through coursework or projects.
• Software engineering fundamentals: Familiarity with writing clean, secure, well-tested code, and treating code review as a quality practice.
• AI fluency: Exposure to AI coding assistants (Copilot, Cursor, Codeium, etc.) and LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, open-weight models) to build features, plus sound judgment when reviewing AI-generated code for correctness and security.
• Technical communication: Ability to break down requirements into actionable tasks and communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
