Software Development Internship
Penguin is hiring interns in Bangalore for software, AI/ML, quality and infrastructure work on real engineering and R&D projects. The stipend is ₹30,000 to ₹35,000 a month, well above typical for internships in this field across India.
What you would work on
- Help engineering and R&D teams through project assignments and technical research.
- Assist with designing, building, testing, validating and tuning products, systems and technologies.
- Work alongside engineers, researchers and other technical staff on live business projects.
- Analyse data, write up your findings and give recommendations to project teams.
- Join problem-solving sessions, design reviews and team meetings, and contribute to improvement and innovation projects across the company.
- Work falls in one of four areas: software engineering (Python, APIs, distributed systems, cloud-native development), AI/ML (LLMs, RAG, AI agents, automation), quality engineering (test automation, Python scripting, API testing, AI validation, system-level validation) or core infrastructure (Linux, Kubernetes, cloud, GPU). You also get exposure to AI, high-performance computing and cloud technology.

How to stand out
- Get comfortable with Python scripts and the Linux command line. Both are named in the post, so be ready to show small projects that use them.
- Pick one of the four work areas and read up on it. If it is AI/ML, understand what LLMs and RAG mean. If it is infrastructure, learn the basics of Kubernetes.
- Try building or calling a simple API, and write a few automated tests for it. This helps for both software and quality roles.
- Practise writing short notes on what you found in a dataset and what you would suggest. The role involves presenting recommendations to project teams.
- Keep your GitHub or project write-ups tidy, so a reviewer can see what you built.
