Are you a student looking to gain hands-on professional experience in software development? Would you like to gain that experience through a robust summer internship program?

We at Juniper Networks are seeking continuing students who are interested in Software Engineering Summer 2025 Internships.

Candidates must be enrolled in a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD program, preferably in EE, CS, or CE, graduating December 2025 or later.

We’re looking for people who are excited about building infrastructure that global businesses rely on -- robust, high-performance software. Our environment is highly collaborative, fostering learning and teamwork, and encouraging all Junivators to take ownership of our collective success.

Our software engineers work up and down the stack, from UI to device drivers; responsibilities and project areas vary by group. We recognize that you will bring your own unique skills and interests, and you will be matched to teams and projects accordingly. For our software roles, we generally look for at least one of the following:

  • Strong programming fundamentals, including algorithms and data structures
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, C, C++, and/or Golang
  • Understanding of operating systems and/or computer networking concepts

For some of our projects, interest in or exposure to one or more of the following may be relevant:

  • Linux
  • Data science
  • AI/ML
  • Cloud software concepts
  • Software development tools such as version control

Additional qualities of a successful candidate include:

  • Analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Demonstrated track record of taking initiative and being resourceful
  • Ability to work collaboratively and solve problems
  • Strong communication skills, especially written
  • Leadership experience, whether formal or informal
  • Enthusiasm!

In addition, you will join our comprehensive University Talent Program that fosters personal as well as professional growth, thoroughly preparing interns for the next step in their careers.

Juniper internships are project-based, allowing interns to solve important problems, make lasting impacts on their teams, and contribute to the company’s overall objectives.

Interns are mentored by some of the most talented and skillful innovators in the industry; you will connect with transformative thought leaders who promote disruptive ideas in their field. You will also participate in constructive professional workshops, company-wide community service initiatives, and an executive speaker series. You’ll build lasting friendships, expand your network, and connect with colleagues from around the world.

At Juniper Networks, you will not only have opportunities to build real-life, hands-on work experience – you’ll also have the chance to learn from the best and lay the groundwork for a successful career.

 

Juniper's 2025 internship program is expected to be conducted in-person at one of our campus locations.
