About the Opportunity
At Ellucian, an internship is more than just checking a box — it’s about learning by doing. Our award-winning internship program gives interns the opportunity to build real skills through hands-on experience, working alongside their teams on meaningful projects that support colleges and universities and ultimately impact students just like you.
Throughout the program, you’ll contribute to meaningful projects, gain exposure to how teams collaborate, and explore your interests as you begin shaping what’s next in your career. You’ll be supported by your manager, dedicated project guides, and a structured mentorship program, as well as a broader intern community designed to help you learn and grow.
Additionally, you will participate in executive Q&A sessions and “day-in-the-life” conversations with intern alumni & leaders across our organization, offering insights into career paths at Ellucian — many of which began through this very program. Our full-time internship program will run from May 18, 2026 – August 7, 2026. Apply Now to experience what it’s like to live the #ellucianlife.
Project Overview
- Currently pursuing a BS or MS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (rising junior, senior, or graduate student preferred).
- Strong programming skills in JavaScript, Node.js, and Python, demonstrated through coursework, personal projects, or open-source contributions.
- Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and systems design. You should be comfortable reading and writing code, not just completing exercises.
- Hands-on experience directing AI agents as part of how you get work done — not just chatting with them, but managing their output and owning the result.
- Familiarity with Git, REST APIs, and at least basic exposure to cloud services (AWS preferred).
- Strong documentation skills.
- Intellectual curiosity about how LLMs work, how AI agents are built, and the unsolved problem of governing and managing AI at the organizational level — not just how individuals adopt AI, but how engineering teams plan, measure, and coordinate it as a resource.
- Experience with AWS services (Lambda, API Gateway, ECS, DynamoDB, S3, CloudWatch, etc.)
- Experience with TypeScript
- Experience building agentic workflows (tool calling, multi-step reasoning flows, retrieval/RAG patterns)
- Exposure to LangChain and/or LangGraph
- Awareness of multi-agent orchestration patterns
- Familiarity with testing frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, or serverless architectures
- Projects or coursework that go beyond individual AI adoption — thinking about how AI changes team workflows, cost structures, or engineering management
