Software Engineering Intern

At Zettabyte, we're on a mission to make AI compute ubiquitous, seamless, and limitless. We're building a cloud where AI just works—anywhere, anytime. "AI Power. Everywhere." Be part of the team designing the infrastructure for the AI-first world.

Why This Role Exists

We're looking for a Software Engineering Intern to help us build the systems powering our GPU cloud platform. You'll contribute to real production code across cloud-native infrastructure, platform tooling, and backend services—working alongside a senior engineering team that moves fast and ships impactful work.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who's excited to work on AI infrastructure at scale in a high-growth startup. You'll own meaningful work from day one—not just tickets.

What you'd do

Are currently pursuing a B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
Have strong programming skills in Go (Golang), Python, C/C++, or similar
Demonstrate strong math and CS fundamentals — algorithms, data structures, discrete math, or systems
Have hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, or cloud-native technologies
Are familiar with cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure) and how infrastructure fits together
Have worked with Git/GitHub and are comfortable in Linux/Unix environments
Can communicate complex technical ideas clearly, in writing and in code
Are curious, self-directed, and excited about working in an early-stage environment where your contributions matter
Have experience with competitive programming, research, or independent technical projects

What they want

Experience with GPU infrastructure, NVIDIA tooling, or AI/ML workload orchestration
Familiarity with CNI plugins, network policy, or multi-tenant Kubernetes environments
Exposure to observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, alerting pipelines)
Background in distributed systems or storage (NFS, object storage, high-speed networking)
Contributions to open source cloud-native projects

What you get

Competitive internship stipend commensurate with experience
Hands-on exposure to cutting-edge GPU cloud infrastructure and AI systems
Mentorship from senior engineers with deep expertise in AI infrastructure
Opportunity to convert to a full-time role for exceptional interns
Hybrid — 3 days in office (Palo Alto), 2 days WFH
Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship
