Amazon SDE I Intern Recruitment 2027: 6-Month In-Person Internship

Amazon has opened applications for its SDE I Intern program under University Talent Acquisition — a 6-month, in-person Software Development Engineer internship for the 2027 graduating batch. Rather than applying to a single fixed city, applying to this listing puts you in consideration for all the India locations Amazon hires interns into, which currently include Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, New Delhi, and Chennai, among others.

This is a genuinely hands-on internship — Amazon frames it around interns writing real production code, working with distributed systems, data mining, and large-scale optimization, matched to both a manager and a mentor for the duration. One condition worth knowing upfront: this is strictly full-time, in-person, and requires a signed university declaration confirming you have no academic or other commitments that would conflict with the internship’s full duration.

Quick Overview

Important Notes on Duration and Commitment

• The internship requires full-time commitment for its entire duration — interns should have no conflicting academic projects, classes, or other internships/employment during this period.
• Any exam-related absences must be shared with the hiring manager in advance so they can be planned around.
• Specific working-hour norms are communicated by the hiring/reporting manager at the start of the internship.
• Candidates receiving an offer must submit a signed declaration from a competent university authority confirming their availability for the entire internship duration — the internship offer is conditional on this declaration being submitted successfully.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborating with experienced, cross-disciplinary Amazonians to conceive, design, and bring innovative products and services to market.
• Designing and building technologies in a large distributed computing environment.
• Creating solutions to run predictions on distributed systems, with exposure to technologies operating at significant scale and speed.
• Building distributed storage, index, and query systems that are scalable, fault-tolerant, low-cost, and easy to manage.
• Designing and coding solutions starting from broadly defined, open-ended problems.
• Working within an agile environment to deliver high-quality software.

Eligibility Criteria

Basic Qualifications

• Knowledge of computer science fundamentals — object-oriented design, operating systems, algorithms, data structures, and complexity analysis.
• Knowledge of at least one programming language among C/C++, Python, Java, or Perl.
• Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, with a Year of Graduation of 2027.

Preferred Qualifications

• Previous technical internship(s).
• Experience with distributed, multi-tiered systems, algorithms, and relational databases.
• Experience in optimization mathematics — linear programming and nonlinear optimization.
• Ability to effectively articulate technical challenges and proposed solutions.
• Comfort handling ambiguous or undefined problems, with the ability to think abstractly.

Who Should Apply?

• Students graduating in 2027 with solid CS fundamentals and working proficiency in at least one of C/C++, Python, Java, or Perl.
• Candidates genuinely interested in distributed systems, large-scale infrastructure, and optimization problems, rather than purely application/UI-layer work.
• Those who can commit fully to an in-person, 6-month internship with no competing academic or work obligations during that period.
• Candidates open to being placed in any of Amazon’s India hiring locations, since a single application covers multiple cities rather than one fixed location.

Who Is This Role Not For?

• Students graduating in a year other than 2027 — this specific cohort restriction is explicit in the posting.
• Candidates who cannot commit to full-time, in-person work for the entire 6-month duration, or who have conflicting academic/internship obligations they cannot resolve.
• Those who need to choose or guarantee a specific city — this listing places you into a pool considered across multiple locations, not one you select upfront.

Stipend

Amazon has not disclosed a stipend figure in the official posting. Candidates should confirm this directly during the interview or offer stage.

Selection Process

The official posting does not describe a specific test or interview format. Given the strong emphasis on CS fundamentals, algorithms, and distributed systems concepts, candidates should expect the evaluation to test core problem-solving and coding ability, along with comfort handling open-ended, ambiguous problems — a theme the posting repeats across both the responsibilities and preferred qualifications sections.

Other structured, multi-month programs worth comparing: StoneX’s 6-month Data Engineer apprenticeship in Pune and American Express’s 12-month Enterprise Technology Services apprenticeship.
