Software Engineer Data & AI I (Intern) – United States

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Remove boilerplate. Keep substantive info: About the team? The posting includes "Meet the Team" paragraph describing Cisco Product Organization. That's like About the role? Actually it's about team. Could be "About the role" or "About the team". Use headings: About the role? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings based on content. We have sections: "Meet the Team" (description). Could map to "About the role" or maybe "About the team". But we should follow examples: they gave examples but not strict. Use "About the role" for description of role and team. Then "Your Impact" describes responsibilities: building data pipelines, ML workflows, etc. That's Responsibilities. Then "Minimum Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications": combine into Requirements/Qualifications. Could have "Qualifications" heading with both minimum and preferred? Or separate "Requirements" and "Preferred Qualifications". The instruction: use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have "Requirements" for minimum qualifications, and maybe "Preferred Qualifications" as a separate heading? They didn't list Preferred Qualifications as example but we can still use if content exists. But better to follow examples: we could put "Qualifications" heading and include both minimum and preferred under it. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine. We also have "Why Cisco?" description: could be "About the team" or "Benefits"? Actually it's about company culture, could be "About the team" or maybe we could omit as it's fluff but it's substantive. Could be under "About the role" as well. Pay: they gave salary ranges for specific locations. So we should include Pay section with those ranges. Benefits: they described benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401k, parental leave, etc). That's substantive, so include Benefits section. Schedule: not mentioned (internship 12-week summer experience). That's schedule info: 12-week summer experience. Could be Schedule section. We must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Remove duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract: - Meet the Team paragraph: description of Cisco Product Organization, mission, teams, etc. - The Cisco Product Internship Program offers a 12-week summer experience designed to welcome early-career talent into this mission. We embed interns within high-impact teams, where they collaborate directly on the products, platforms, and architectures shaping Cisco's future and powering the AI era. Throughout the program, interns have the opportunity to participate in targeted learning sessions, multi-functional networking, and direct engagement with leaders across the organization. By immersing interns in real-world challenges, we help them build the technical skills, confidence, and collaborative approach needed to envision a long-term, impactful career at Cisco. - Your Impact: You’ll build data pipelines and machine learning workflows together, using Python to power real-world products. You’ll develop, train, and deploy models using frameworks like PyTorch or scikit-learn, and orchestrate large-scale data solutions using tools like Spark and Kubernetes. By building and scaling the intelligent data pipelines and distributed systems that power our models, you ensure our platforms remain performant and reliable as we process data at scale to drive the insights that fuel our AI-driven products. - Minimum Qualifications: Currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree program (Associate's or Bachelor's). Qualifying education should be in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, or a related field. Expected to continue enrollment in degree program following completion of the internship. Proficient in Python and core data structures, demonstrated through at least one academic, personal, or professional project. Exposure to at least one ML framework: TensorFlow, PyTorch, or scikit-learn. Working knowledge of at least one big data/distributed processing tool: Spark, Hadoop (MapReduce), or Flink. Hands-on experience with at least one deployment/orchestration tool: Docker or Kubernetes. - Preferred Qualifications: Experience deploying or productionizing a trained ML model, beyond coursework-level training and evaluation. Exposure to at least one cloud platform: AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. Understanding of at least two of: scalability, reliability, fault tolerance, or data consistency. Working knowledge of at least two of: load balancing, consensus algorithms, or inter-service communication. - #productintern27 (maybe a tag, ignore). - Why Cisco? paragraph: description of Cisco's mission, innovation, impact, teamwork, etc. - Message to applicants applying to work in the U.S. and/or Canada: includes pay determination statement, benefits description, etc. We need to extract pay and benefits. Pay: They say "Individual pay is determined by the candidate's hiring location, market conditions, job-related skillset, experience, qualifications, education, certifications, and/or training. The full salary range for certain locations is listed below. For locations not listed below, the recruiter can share more details about compensation for the role in your location during the hiring process." Then they list: U.S. employees are offered benefits... (that's benefits). Then they list: U.S. employees are eligible for paid time away as described below... (that's benefits/time off). Then they list specifics. Then they say: "For non-sales roles, employees are also eligible to earn annual bonuses subject to Cisco’s policies." etc. That's benefits/compensation. Then they give salary ranges: "The applicable full salary ranges for this position, by specific state, are listed below: New York City Metro Area $44,000.00 - $185,000.00 Non-Metro New York State & Washington State $44,000.00 - $185,000.00" Also note: "For quota-based sales roles on Cisco’s sales plan, the ranges provided in this posting include base pay and sales target incentive compensation combined. Employees in Illinois, whether exempt or non-exempt, will participate in a unique time off program to meet local requirements." Thus Pay section should include those salary ranges. Benefits section should include: medical, dental and vision insurance, 401(k) plan with Cisco matching contribution, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability coverage, basic life insurance, grants of Cisco restricted stock units, paid time away details: 10 paid holidays per full calendar year, plus 1 floating holiday for non-exempt employees, 1 paid day off for employee’s birthday, paid year-end holiday shutdown, and 4 paid days off for personal wellness determined by Cisco, Non-exempt employees receive 16 days of paid vacation time per full calendar year, accrued at rate of 4.92 hours per pay period for full-time employees, Exempt employees participate in Cisco’s flexible vacation time off program, which has no defined limit on how much vacation time eligible employees may use (subject to availability and some business limitations), 80 hours of sick time off provided on hire date and each January 1st thereafter, and up to 80 hours of unused sick time carried forward from one calendar year to the next, Additional paid time away may be requested to deal with critical or emergency issues for family members, Optional 10 paid days per full calendar year to volunteer, For non-sales roles, employees are also eligible to earn annual bonuses subject to Cisco’s policies. Employees On Sales Plans Earn Performance-based Incentive Pay On Top Of Their Base Salary, Which Is Split Between Quota And Non-quota Components, Subject To The Applicable Cisco Plan. (We can keep that but it's a bit detailed; it's still benefits/compensation.) Schedule: The internship is a 12-week summer experience. So schedule: 12-week summer internship. We should not include repeated boilerplate like "Please note this posting is to advertise potential job opportunities..." etc. Remove that. Also remove "Message to applicants applying to work in the U.S. and/or Canada:" heading? We'll incorporate its content into Pay and Benefits sections. We must not repeat the job title as heading. No Job ID. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:

About the role

... (Meet the Team + Cisco Product Internship Program description)

Responsibilities

... (Your Impact)

Qualifications

We could split into Minimum and Preferred but maybe keep as one with subheadings? But we cannot use

? Not prohibited but they said use

for section headings. Could still use

for Minimum Qualifications and another

for Preferred Qualifications. That's okay; they'd be sections. But they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Having two qualification sections may be okay. But we could combine into one Qualifications section with two

lists: Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications as headings inside? But that would be headings inside a section, not allowed? Could use or

but not headings. Simpler: have two sections:

Minimum Qualifications

and

Preferred Qualifications

. That's two sections but still substantive. Alternatively, we could have

Qualifications

and inside have

Minimum Qualifications

etc. But they didn't forbid

. However they said use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). That suggests those are the allowed headings. So we should stick to those headings. So we can have

Qualifications

and inside we can have two

or

lists with labels. Thus:

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications:

...

Preferred Qualifications:

...
That's okay. Then

Benefits

with
list.

Pay

with

containing salary ranges.

Schedule

with

about 12-week summer internship. We should also include maybe "About the team" but we used About the role. Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Please note this posting is to advertise potential job opportunities..." etc. Remove. Also remove "Meet the Team" heading; we incorporate its content into About the role paragraph. Let's craft About the role paragraph: combine the Meet the Team paragraph and the Cisco Product Internship Program description. Paragraph: "The Cisco Product Organization is the engine behind the platforms, technologies, and solutions defining the next generation of connectivity. Spanning AI Software & Platforms, Core Product Engineering, Collaboration, Security, Networking, Silicon, and Observability, we build the critical infrastructure that powers the digital world. Millions of people rely on our platforms every day, and our teams work together to build, refine, and scale products that drive meaningful impact. We are a team of passionate innovators, united by our curiosity, collaboration, and dedication to helping one another do our best work. Ready to help us build what's next? The Cisco Product Internship Program offers a 12-week summer experience designed to welcome early-career talent into this mission.
