WSO2 Engineering Internship Program
At WSO2, we’re passionate about helping the next generation of tech leaders discover their potential. Our internship program offers a chance to learn, contribute, and grow while working with real technologies, solving real problems, and engaging with the open-source community.
Our application criteria are designed to ensure a more inclusive and balanced selection process. This model helps us identify candidates who are not only skilled but also genuinely interested in our mission and products - we know that talent and potential don’t always show up as high GPAs or well-known universities. That’s why we’re looking for people with curiosity, initiative, a love for technology and the drive to learn and make a difference.
Eligibility Criteria
This internship program is open to all students, but the application process differs depending on your university's placement process:
- If your university does not have an internship program monitored by NAITA: You are welcome to apply directly through this application.
- If your university does have an internship program monitored with NAITA: Please follow your university’s official placement procedure instead of applying directly.
- Only applicants with no previous work experience will be eligible to apply.
We encourage students from all backgrounds to explore internship opportunities at WSO2!
