Software Engineering Internship 2027

As the largest mover of truckload freight in the world with 19 million shipments annually, C.H. Robinson builds resilient supply chains through science and technology. Never heard of us? Our customers have relied on our supply chain expertise for over 120 years, but they’ve never needed us more. That’s because global markets face historically tight capacity constraints, volatility and pandemic-related disruption, along with one off situations like extreme weather conditions. As a key factor in easing this congestion, we need global scale marketplace tech. Come join our team as a software engineer intern who raise the bar; those who combine technical excellence with curiosity, business acumen, and the ability to create solutions that truly make an impact. If you have curiosity about the business and own the outcome from idea to user delight, let's talk.

From day one of your 2027 summer internship you will have hands-on, meaningful responsibilities that will challenge you and require out-of-the-box thinking. Using your ingenuity and creativity, you will work with your team to build and enhance custom, proprietary systems impacting thousands of users around the world.  Are you ready for the challenge?  We will maximize your learning opportunities by pairing you with an experienced engineer who is passionate about providing feedback and guidance, while allowing you to grow your skills and deliver real business value.  The training and hands-on experience you gain through the program will give you the confidence and experience you need to advance your career. If you are someone who is not only comfortable using modern AI development tools, but is genuinely curious about how to build reliable, production-grade automation and autonomous agents in an enterprise environment, let’s talk!
