About the job
This internship is intended for students in their first or second year of an accredited full-time degree program in Computer Science or related technical fields. We especially encourage applications from students underrepresented in the engineering and tech industry.

The program offers students the opportunity to work on a software project alongside another STEP intern, with the support of full-time Googlers and a mentor. You will also attend weekly trainings to enhance your technical and professional skills.
