Inside the program

As a Software Engineer Summer Intern, you’ll be embedded on an agile engineering team in one of our technology lines of business where you’ll help design, build, test, and enhance digital applications and platforms that support millions of customers, clients, and employees around the world.

You’ll work alongside experienced software engineers to solve real‑world problems—whether that’s improving payment experiences, enhancing trading systems, automating processes, or strengthening platform reliability. Our technology teams are AI‑enabled, and you’ll use our internal AI tools as part of your day‑to‑day work to support development activities, enhancing productivity and code quality.

In addition to your core team project, you’ll collaborate with interns from other functions on a cross‑disciplinary project that supports our community partners. This experience gives you exposure to how different roles come together to deliver impact beyond the firm.

Throughout the summer, you’ll contribute code, share ideas, and see the results of your work in production or pilot environments—adding value from the start.

We're looking for curious, collaborative problem solvers who are eager to build, improve, and deliver technology that creates real world impact. Ideal candidates bring foundational skills in at least one programming language, and an understanding of software skills such as business analysis, development, maintenance, and software improvement — along with an understanding of how software components work together. Experience developing with AI tools, including the ability to validate and refine AI-generated outputs with sound judgment, will set you apart. Exposure to agile methodologies, secure coding practices, and technologies like cloud computing, AI/ML, or mobile development is a plus.

Our summer internship is designed to help you grow as both a technologist and a professional while gaining a realistic view of what it’s like to build technology at scale.

You’ll begin with a firmwide orientation and technology induction to learn about our businesses, engineering practices, and development methodologies while building core professional skills, followed by ongoing technical and professional training in areas such as cybersecurity, effective communication, and the responsible use of AI in software engineering.

You’ll be fully integrated into our global technology community and supported throughout the program through:

  • A dedicated peer mentor (a junior software engineer) to help you make the most of your experience
  • Global and local senior speaker sessions to learn from leaders
  • Time and encouragement to network and shadow colleagues to expand your perspective

For top performers, the internship can be a pathway to a full‑time role through our Software Engineer Program or a return internship, depending on graduation date.

Our opportunities

Work across the entire software stack — from user interfaces to databases — building solutions that are resilient, scalable, and ready for cloud, mobile, and on-premises environments. You'll design features with observability baked in, integrate AI/ML-powered experiences, and use modern tech stacks like Python, Java, React, Node.js, Docker, and Kubernetes alongside AI-assisted development tools to ship quality code faster.

Sample projects you might work on:

  • Build cloud-native payment services processing millions of transactions per second with secure APIs and real-time risk controls.
  • Create a Python-based AI agent with a React front end that streams cited answers and automates multi-step workflows through secure API calls.

Focus on the server-side logic that powers our applications — building the web services, APIs, and integrations that front-end and mobile developers rely on. You'll design microservices, work with databases and messaging layers like Kafka, implement secure authentication, and build agentic services for AI-powered tool calling — all while applying modern cybersecurity standards, secure-by-default engineering practices, and AI-assisted development tools.

Sample projects you might work on:

  • Build a best-in-class electronic trading platform for Rates and Emerging Markets business lines in the Investment Bank.
  • Develop an agentic AI matching capability that connects issuers with investors — ingesting needs and mandates, autonomously gathering relevant data, and producing explainable ranked recommendations via modern APIs.

Shape how users interact with our products — building websites, web applications, and mobile experiences that are intuitive, accessible, and secure. You'll create AI-powered interfaces like chat assistants with streaming responses and citations, contribute to design systems and accessibility standards, implement secure authentication, and use modern frameworks like React, Swift, and Kotlin alongside AI-assisted development tools to deliver polished experiences faster.

Sample projects you might work on:

  • Design innovative, enterprise-level customer-facing experiences for the bank's commercial clients using React.
  • Build responsive web and Android applications for retail branch bankers to accelerate digital adoption and deliver a seamless customer experience.

Protect our people, clients, and assets by engineering security solutions with cutting-edge technology. You'll build tooling across software, endpoint, network, and data security — including securing AI-enabled applications against threats like prompt injection and data leakage. You will use AI-assisted development tools and evaluate new technologies to strengthen the bank's cyber defense capabilities.

Sample projects you might work on:

  • Develop complex platforms deployed in public and private cloud environments to meet the bank's evolving cyber defense needs
  • Implement an attack simulation tool and integrate it into our vulnerability management ecosystem

Build and operate the large-scale infrastructure and cloud platforms that power the firm's most critical businesses. Using AI-assisted development tools, you'll develop Infrastructure as Code solutions, CI/CD systems, and private cloud infrastructure — while enabling secure integration with public cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP, including connectivity for AI/ML services.

Sample projects you might work on:

  • Engineer solutions to enhance infrastructure services such as Virtual Machines and Storage that run applications across JPMorganChase’s diverse businesses
  • Develop modern private cloud storage platforms to serve all consumers of storage infrastructure at the firm.

Apply a software engineering mindset to keep our applications and infrastructure available, reliable, and performant. You'll use observability tools to detect and diagnose issues, partner with development teams to implement consistent monitoring and alerting standards, and leverage and leverage AIOps and LLM capabilities to automate incident response and operational workflows — reducing the time it takes to resolve incidents.

Sample projects you might work on:

  • Develop software automation and stability tools built around a Big Data reservoir system to improve the production support experience.
  • Build resilience and stability tooling to accelerate adoption of native cloud technologies and enhance the customer experience.
