Graduation Internship – AI & Copilot in Software Development
Want to become the best version of yourself? At Rabobank, you work on your personal development while contributing to the world around you. You grow in an environment where you continue to learn every day.
Are you ready to explore how AI can change the way software is built? Do you want to work with modern technology, learn from experienced engineers and help shape the future of development? Then this internship at Rabobank could be a great next step for you.
During this internship, you will explore how GitHub Copilot can move beyond autocomplete and become more like a development partner. You will work on real software engineering challenges and investigate how AI can help developers write, reason about and improve code.
Duration: 4–6 months
Start date: September
Hours: 32–36 hours per week
You will join a DevOps team that works at the intersection of backend development and AI tooling. The team experiments with technologies like GitHub Copilot to rethink how software is built. The goal is clear: moving from AI as a helper to AI as a real development partner.
At Rabobank, you work on yourself and the world around you at the same time. We believe in personal growth, collaboration and creating positive impact together. We also believe that everyone should feel welcome, safe and respected at work.
As an intern, you will explore how Copilot can support developers in a more active and intelligent way. You will look at how AI can help in real development workflows, where it adds value and where it still has limitations.
You will work on topics such as:
Understanding Copilot capabilities in IntelliJ
Exploring agentic AI patterns in development workflows
Designing smarter AI-assisted coding approaches
Measuring the impact of AI on productivity and code quality
Your main technical playground will be backend systems using Java/Kotlin and Spring Boot. You can expect to use Copilot in real tasks, such as API development, refactoring and test generation.
By the end of your internship, you will contribute:
Research insights on agentic AI and Copilot
Working prototypes and code examples
An evaluation of the impact on productivity and code quality
Recommendations for using AI in development teams
You enjoy building things, but you also like to question how they can be improved. You do not need to know everything already. What matters most is curiosity, a proactive mindset and the drive to keep learning.
You are interested in backend development, for example Java, Kotlin or Spring Boot.
You are curious about AI, Copilot and automation.
You enjoy experimenting with new tools and ideas.
You want to keep improving and are open to feedback.
You focus on results and like working towards practical solutions.
You can think beyond the obvious and explore different ways forward.
You enjoy sharing ideas and encouraging collaboration.
