Your Role

Most interns will work in software engineering roles.

Software engineering is an exceptionally creative discipline. You will be working on projects that are revolutionising the communications industry. Sharing information at a touch of a button without disrupting your conversation via Thrutu? Answering a call to your mobile on your laptop while sitting in Starbucks? Getting a Facebook or MSN pop-up to let you know a family member is calling you at home? Reading your voicemails transcribed to text? These services were unknown just a few years ago - but we enable their delivery to millions of people.

We are living in a world where people expect more and more from their communications devices and services. Inspired software engineering affects how services perform and it enables service providers to keep up with demand.

What to expect

Don't think you'll be making tea all day! From day one, you'll work on complex and challenging programming assignments within a team of creative and hard-working professionals. Just as with our new graduate starters, you will be assigned a mentor and a manager, who will give you a high level of support and expert guidance throughout your entire time with us. We have a proven track record of turning bright students, without any prior experience, into productive engineers who go on to make a real and significant contribution to our projects.

Not sure if software engineering is for you? If you enjoy solving complex problems then it just might be. Have a go at these brain teasers. Right or wrong, the important thing is that you relish having a go!
