Software Developer

Join Ericsson’s Distributed Cloud team as a Software Developer Intern and help build the Cloud Container Distribution that powers 5G Core and Cloud RAN. You’ll be contributing to real product features, with a strong focus on AI/LLM agentic workflows integrated into a modern cloud-native stack. You’ll also get hands-on exposure to Kubernetes and cloud networking in a production-grade environment. The internship can be part time and in length 3-6 months, and there is a possibility to combine your thesis work to the internship. What you will do: * Explore and apply agentic workflows (LLM-powered assistants and automations) to optimize engineering processes and improving customer experience e.g., faster troubleshooting, better onboarding, configuration management and smarter documentation use etc. * Work with Kubernetes as a platform: help build, configure, and operate services that run in clusters. * Support networking aspects of cloud platforms (service connectivity, traffic policies, and reliability) * Collaborate in a cross-functional environment: participate in planning, pair programming, reviews, and demos; write clear documentation * Evaluate your solutions for usability, maintainability, security, and impact; and iterate based on feedback. The skills you bring: * Enrolled in a BS/MS program in CS/EE/CE (or related). * Strong Python skills and solid understanding of data structures and algorithms. * Experience with Kubernetes or cloud-native observability (Prometheus/Grafana, tracing, log pipelines). * Familiarity with LLMs/AI concepts: prompt design, function/tool calling, RAG basics, evaluation. * Working knowledge of Linux and containers; ability to read logs and troubleshoot systems. * Understanding of networking fundamentals. * Clear communication, curiosity, and a bias for hands-on experimentation. It is an advantage if you have: * Exposure to agent frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI) or vector databases. * Experience in fine tuning LLMs or other ML models. * Experience in Kubernetes administration and life-cycle management. * Go (Golang) proficiency is a plus. * Interest in telecom/5G, CNFs, or large-scale distributed systems.
