AI Engineering – Software Engineer Internships – Summer 2027 (Masters)

Job Description

That moment inspired Fred to build a company that could do that for everyone-freeing people from busywork so they could focus on meaningful work. Today, ServiceNow is the AI control tower for business reinvention. Our ServiceNow AI platform brings together any AI, any data, and any workflow- helping 85% of the Fortune 500® work smarter, faster, and better. We’re building an AI-native culture where technology and talent are unstoppable together. Join us to put AI to work for people.
As a full stack Software Development Engineer Intern , you’ll help design, build, and maintain software across the entire application stack from user-facing interfaces to APIs, data stores, and cloud infrastructure. You’ll write well-tested, maintainable code, participate actively in code review, and use AI coding assistants to accelerate delivery while critically evaluating AI-generated output for correctness and security. Full Software Development Lifecycle:
Build features end-to-end-from design through deployment-building front-end (React/Angular/Vue) and back-end (REST/GraphQL, microservices) solutions
Contribute to scalable system design: evaluate architectural trade-offs, define data models and API contracts, and choose the right cloud-native and persistence strategies for your project
Code Quality Testing and Review
Write comprehensive tests, uphold coding standards, and review code-including AI-generated code-for security, performance, and maintainability.
Develop, maintain, and execute automated test suites to validate software functionality, catch defects early.
CI/CD, DevOps & Operational Readiness
Maintain CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code, monitor systems in production, and participate in incident response including AI-integrated components.
Partner with product managers, designers, and platform teams to scope and deliver features, writing clear specs and communicating trade-offs to technical and non-technical audiences.

Must be available to work full-time hours, for a 12- week period, either May – August or June – September in 2027
Experience in leveraging or critically thinking about how to integrate AI into work processes, decision-making, or problem-solving. This may include using AI-powered tools, automating workflows, analyzing AI-driven insights, or exploring AI’s potential impact on the function or industry.
Full-stack development skills: Hands on experience through coursework, research, projects, or internships with 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.
Understanding of trade-offs between consistency, availability, and performance, and working knowledge of distributed system patterns and API/database design.
Working knowledge of software engineering fundamentals: Prior experience writing clean, secure, well-tested code and examples of treating code review as a quality practice.
AI fluency: Effectively incorporates AI coding assistants (Copilot, Cursor, Codeium, etc) and LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, open-weight models) to build features, and applies sound judgment when reviewing AI-generated code for correctness and security.
