Location: Cardiff, Wales
Start date: Summer 2027, duration 10 weeks.
Company: Esri, see www.esri.com
We have an exciting summer internship available at Esri, the world leader in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). You will be joining our software development team at the Cardiff R&D Centre, working on the software that drives the latest innovations in geospatial technology. This is a paid internship opportunity, and a successful intern will be considered for a fulltime position upon graduation. Must have UK citizenship or permanent residency to be considered for this role.
Project
As a software development engineer intern with Esri, you’ll be working on a project that is contributing to the release of our latest software products. We’ll assign you to a team that is the best match for your skill set, and you will be provided with training to extend your existing programmer abilities and mentoring from the team. We build our software products using the agile software development methodology, and you will be learning from experienced software developers from day one.
We have a variety of projects available depending on the software product that you’ll be working on. These range from desktop products such as ArcGIS Pro (C++. C#), to developer SDKs aimed at mobile devices (C++) such as the Native Maps SDK, and Location Platform Services (Rust). The common theme is mapping and visualization, with a platform that allows geographic data to displayed and analyzed by our users.
Requirements
We are looking for a highly motivated and talented individual, working towards a degree in computer science, mathematics, GIS or related field. You should have strong development skills in Rust or C++. Familiarity with any of the following would also be viewed favourably: Web Technology, REST APIs, 2D/3D mathematics, and Dev Ops. You will also need good spoken and written communication skills in English as interns will be liaising with team members both in office and remotely.
An interest in mapping applications and any experience of Esri products is an obvious advantage. We use a test-driven development methodology, so an interest in QA and testing is highly relevant. Candidates in their penultimate year will be given preference. Must have UK citizenship or permanent residency to be considered for this role.
