2027 Software Engineer Summer Internship
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's a section "Representation at Lazard" about diversity etc. That is boilerplate? It's about diversity and inclusion; might be considered EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove the "Representation at Lazard" paragraph. Also remove "Does this sound like you? Apply! We’ll get in touch and let you know the next steps." That's application instructions. Remove.
Also remove duplicated lines: there is repeated phrase "for the duration of the duration of the internship". We'll keep the salary statement but maybe correct duplication? We must preserve all substantive information; we can keep as is but maybe it's okay. The phrase is weird but it's in the posting; we should preserve it exactly? Probably we should keep the sentence as is, but we could fix obvious typo? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should not change the wording unless it's clearly a typo? It's ambiguous. Safer to keep as is.
Now structure:
About the role
... description about Lazard, AI and Data Group, team, etc.
Then responsibilities: maybe combine with about? But we need a Responsibilities section if there is content. The primary responsibility sentence plus other details about team interaction, cloud, etc. We'll put in - .
Then Requirements: eligibility criteria (dates, NYC) plus education requirement. Could be separate: Requirements (eligibility) and Qualifications (education/skills). But we can combine? The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including eligibility, education, experience), Skills, Pay, Schedule.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler. So we will include only those with content.
Let's extract content.
About the role: The first paragraph about Lazard being preeminent, people and culture, global presence, close community, knowledge sharing, entrepreneurial culture, flat structure, embrace of differences, AI and Data Group description, team delivers insights, internal innovation engine, etc. That's substantive.
We'll put that in
.
Responsibilities: bullet list:
- Designing, building, testing, and maintaining large-scale data-intensive applications and data products.
- Working with senior investment bankers in Financial Advisory and portfolio managers in Asset Management (direct interaction, rapid feedback loops).
- Participating in end-to-end solution development from concept through deployment, performance analysis, and continuous iteration.
- Leveraging cloud technologies and adopting new technologies.
- Contributing to AI and data-driven solutions that enhance decision-making across Lazard’s businesses.
We need to ensure we don't invent. The posting says: "Team members at every level have meaningful agency throughout the product-development cycle, with direct interaction and rapid feedback loops from senior investment bankers in Financial Advisory and portfolio managers in Asset Management." Also "We’re all-in on the cloud and are a leader in the adoption of new technologies." Also "The team delivers practical insights and technology that support client engagements, strengthen strategic partnerships, and help the firm remain competitive and efficient..." That's more about team but could be responsibilities.
We'll include those.
Requirements: eligibility criteria:
- Ability to start internship June 7, 2027 and end August 13, 2027.
- Ability to be in NYC for the duration of the internship.
- Bachelor or advanced degree in Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent.
- Strong programming skills in Python.
- Experience with object-oriented programming.
- Excellent object-oriented or functional analysis and design skills.
- Strong knowledge and prior experience with the full software development lifecycle (requirements gathering, designing, building, testing and maintenance).
- Experience with relational and NoSQL databases.
- Comfortable working with Git, CI/CD tools, and modern development workflows.
- Exposure to containerization and orchestration tools.
- Manage containerized workloads and orchestration platforms.
- Familiar with DevOps tools, automation frameworks, and engineering practices that enhance reliability and productivity.
- Familiarity with data structures, storage systems, and cloud infrastructure such as Azure, AWS, or GCP.
- Familiar with large language model (LLM) frameworks.
- A passion for building quality AI software in the Finance industry.
- The ability to work both independently and as a team player.
- Interested in (and ideally some exposure to) agentic workflows, autonomous AI systems, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) agent development.
That's a lot; could be split into Requirements and Skills. But we can keep as Requirements (including technical). However we also have a Skills section maybe for technical skills. But we can combine to avoid many thin sections. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (which includes eligibility, education, technical skills), Pay, Schedule.
We need to ensure we don't repeat content. Let's list all items without duplication.
We'll create a
under Requirements.
Pay: We expect the prorated salary for this role to be approximately $135,000 USD for the duration of the duration of the internship.
Schedule: The internship will be approximately 10 weeks starting in June of 2027 and concluding in August 2027.
We might also include eligibility dates in schedule? But we already have them in Requirements. Could move dates to Schedule and keep eligibility only about NYC. But we have both. To avoid duplication, we could put start/end dates in Schedule, and keep NYC ability in Requirements. However the eligibility criteria includes both start/end dates and NYC. We could split: Requirements: NYC ability, education, etc. Schedule: dates. That seems reasonable.
Let's do that.
Thus:
Requirements section:
- Ability to be in NYC for the duration of the internship.
- Bachelor or advanced degree in Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent.
- Strong programming skills in Python.
- Experience with object-oriented programming.
- Excellent object-oriented or functional analysis and design skills.
- Strong knowledge and prior experience with the full software development lifecycle (requirements gathering, designing, building, testing and maintenance).
- Experience with relational and NoSQL databases.
- Comfortable working with Git, CI/CD tools, and modern development workflows.
- Exposure to containerization and orchestration tools.
- Manage containerized workloads and orchestration platforms.
- Familiar with DevOps tools, automation frameworks, and engineering practices that enhance reliability and productivity.
- Familiarity with data structures, storage systems, and cloud infrastructure such as Azure, AWS, or GCP.
- Familiar with large language model (LLM) frameworks.
- A passion for building quality AI software in the Finance industry.
- The ability to work both independently and as a team player.
- Interested in (and ideally some exposure to) agentic workflows, autonomous AI systems, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) agent development.
Pay section: as above.
Schedule section: The internship will be approximately 10 weeks starting in June of 2027 and concluding in August 2027.
Also maybe include the specific dates? Could add "Ability to start internship June 7, 2027 and end August 13, 2027." but we moved that to schedule? Actually we could include both: schedule includes start and end dates. Let's include both: "Ability to start internship June 7, 2027 and end August 13, 2027. The internship will be approximately 10 weeks starting in June of 2027 and concluding in August 2027." That's a bit redundant but it's from posting. We'll keep both sentences.
Now About the role: Let's craft a paragraph summarizing the description without omitting details. We need to preserve all substantive information; we cannot summarize away detail. That means we should keep the original sentences, not paraphrase? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." It doesn't forbid rephrasing, but summarizing away detail is not allowed. We can keep the original sentences as is, maybe combine them into a paragraph. Safer to copy the relevant sentences verbatim.
Let's extract the relevant sentences from the posting:
"Lazard is one of the world’s preeminent financial advisory and asset management firms. Our people and culture make the difference. While global in presence and reach, ours is a close, collaborative community of just over 3,000 professionals. Lazard is a place of continuous knowledge sharing, skill development and relationship building, where professionals grow and succeed together. Our entrepreneurial culture, flat structure and embrace of individual differences, allow creative ideas, original concepts, and unique perspectives to drive our business forward — and for careers to take flight.
