Software Development Summer Intern
Position Overview
We established the Technology & Operations Program (TOP) in 2000 to develop our next generation of leaders. As a summer intern, you will work closely with a team and support them in various aspects of their work, including projects with the potential for significant business impact. This is a 10-week internship for college juniors and first-year master students. Interns with excellent performance can receive a full-time offer at the end of the internship!
What You’ll Do
Software development teams support a vast range of investment and financial platforms, including equities, fixed income, sales, trading, multi-asset solutions, private client, research, corporate finance, data management, and more. As a summer Intern, you will be part of a software development team, implementing functional and technical specifications provided by business analysts and development managers. You will learn both the functional and technical aspects of an application in addition to the languages and frameworks used for construction. Software development internships involve hands-on learning, supported by team members, project managers, and formal technology training. Developers use just about every programming language at AllianceBernstein, so Interns will learn and apply a broad range of technical skills throughout the summer.
