What's the role?
This is a 20 hour/week role for undergraduate or Master's-level students who are currently enrolled in an accredited university program in the Dallas, Texas area. This is an in-person internship at our Plano corporate headquarters. The duration of the internship is 6 months with the possibility of an extension through the end of the academic year.
In this role, a student will support the development of modern web applications by working across the frontend (Angular), backend (.NET Core APIs), and databases (PostgreSQL/DocumentDB), while also gaining exposure to cloud-native deployment using AWS EKS (Kubernetes).
The intern will:
• Build user-facing features using Angular.
• Develop and maintain APIs using .NET Core.
• Work with databases to store and retrieve data efficiently.
• Learn to deploy applications in a containerized, scalable cloud environment.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, follow agile processes, and write clean, testable code.
This role provides hands-on experience with full-stack development and modern DevOps practices, preparing the intern for real-world software engineering challenges in cloud-based environments.
