Software Development Summer Intern

About the role

The Technology team provides computing, communications, infrastructure, services, support, and innovations that sustain high-quality research and diverse investment services for institutional investors and private clients. The team also supports AB’s employees. Technical roles in our New York City and Nashville locations have a high degree of interaction with our investment teams. The Operations team provides vital investment-management functions through more than two dozen offices located around the world. It’s dedicated to institutional investment-management services, private client administration, fund services, brokerage operations and change agents.

The Software Development Summer Intern within our Technology & Operations business unit will be implementing functional and technical specifications provided by business analysts and development managers. Interns will learn both the functional and technical aspects of an application in addition to the languages and frameworks used for construction. You will have hands-on learning, supported by team members, project managers, and formal technology training. Our Software Developers use a wide range of programming languages, so interns will have the opportunity to learn and apply a broad range of technical skills throughout the summer. Summer Interns contribute to and learn from AB’s innovative use of technology, deep research capabilities, global presence, and breadth of investment management expertise. The flat corporate structure allows Interns to become deeply integrated into the team and contribute meaningfully to investment decision-making early on in their careers.
