We are looking for a System Software Engineering Intern who sees the big picture of Cloud Computing and is deeply technical, creative, and hands-on. You will design, build, and deploy highly scalable cloud-based solutions for GeForce NOW. You will require a deep understanding of programming languages, distributed systems, multi-threading, and most importantly, cloud services. Your work will craft scalable and efficient cloud services to drive Visual Computing, Deep Learning, and Artificial Intelligence.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Work on microservices and APIs to support a scalable gaming infrastructure.
  • Own an internship-long project from start to finish, presenting your results to the leadership team.
  • Collaborate with product, platform, and operations teams to deliver your project while developing cross-functional skills.
  • Work with your mentor to build technical skills and explore career paths.

What We Need To See

  • Currently enrolled in Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD program in Computer Science or related technical field from an accredited University/College.
  • Strong initiative, passion for learning, collaborative interpersonal skills, and adaptability to new technology.
  • Knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and software design.
  • Experience building RESTful APIs with Java Spring Boot.
  • Familiarity with Linux or other Unix-based environments.
  • Experience with NoSQL databases such as Cassandra or Firebase, plus caching solutions like Redis or Valkey.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

  • Ability to show examples of technical projects you have worked on.
  • Experience with Golang or Python.
  • Exposure to infrastructure-as-code and container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes, ECS, or OpenStack.
  • Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins or GitLab CI.
