**Introduction** Our mission is to modernise IBM Z data access and use cases. For that we currently work on two product lines: * IBM Data Gate is the one-stop solution for building hybrid cloud applications with Z data: a modern approach where you leave your existing data stores and applications on Z untouched, but still get current and transactional consistent copies of that data on the cloud (public or private). Data Gate enables a hybrid architecture where mainframe data stores and applications co-exist with cloud environments. It synchronises IBM Z data to the cloud for modern cloud data architectures such as Apache Iceberg and IBM watsonx. * IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator for z/OS is a software appliance that enables and accelerates analytical and machine learning workloads for relational databases. It supports the most demanding customers in analysing and dramatically accelerating their queries in Db2 for z/OS. Both products are developed by a dynamic and agile team around the world. **Your role and responsibilities** To ensure that the IBM Data Gate and IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator for z/OS maintain their innovative edge and uphold their quality we are looking for frontend and backend developers highly interested in developing an innovative, future-oriented solution for our large enterprise customers for their journey to the Cloud. Your main duties will include designing and implementing new features, optimising and extending existing code, and ensuring the software meets high-quality standards through testing, debugging and automation. You will work closely with other developers, designers, and product managers to ensure the software meets user needs. A student joining our team will * work in a multi-cultural team, collaborating with engineers in Germany, India and the USA to develop innovative ideas, * gain deep knowledge in the development life-cycle of a large project, ranging from system administration over code development and testing to integration into existing products and frameworks, * benefit from the work with supervisors having a lot of experience in software development and scientific work at universities. * Examples for tasks in this internship could be web-based UI development, extension of automation scripts, integration of components into cloud environments, refinement of backend server code and improvements to monitoring utilities.
