Software Development Summer Intern
Who You’ll Work With:
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.
What You’ll Do:
The Software Development Summer Intern within our Technology & Operations business unit will be implanting 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.
Intern projects may include:
- Working on enhancements to our investment management systems which are used for investment decision making and execution
- Working on enhancements to our sales, marketing and distribution systems
- Automating operational processes to reduce risk and maximize efficiency
