Career Resources Repository Network

The Summer 2026 Tech Internships repository is part of a larger ecosystem of career resources maintained by the community. These repositories help students at different stages of their career journey.

New Grad Positions

New-Grad Repository

Looking ahead to full-time roles after graduation? The New-Grad repository tracks entry-level software engineering positions.What you’ll find:
  • Full-time new grad software engineering roles
  • Similar format to the internship repository
  • Rolling updates as positions open
  • Company information and application deadlines
  • Sponsorship and citizenship requirements
Start checking the New-Grad repository during your senior year (or earlier for planning purposes). Many companies open new grad positions 6-9 months before start dates.

​
When to Use This Repository

1

Junior/Senior year

Browse to understand what companies hire new grads and what the market looks like. This helps you target your internship search toward companies with strong new grad pipelines.
2

Senior year fall semester

Start actively applying. Many companies recruit new grads on the same timeline as intern recruitment (August-November for the following year).

After internship

If you complete an internship but don’t receive a return offer, the New-Grad repository becomes your primary resource.

Original Inspiration

Pitt CSC & Simplify Repository

The Summer 2026 repository was inspired by the pioneering work of Pitt CSC and Simplify, who created one of the first comprehensive, community-driven internship tracking lists.Historical significance:
  • Started the trend of collaborative internship tracking
  • Established the format many repositories now use
  • Demonstrated the power of community-sourced job listings
  • Helped thousands of students find internships
While the Pitt CSC & Simplify repository focused on previous years (like Summer 2024), it remains valuable for understanding recruitment timelines, company patterns, and what the internship landscape looks like.

​
How to Use Past Year Repositories

Look at when companies posted positions in previous years:
  • Early recruiters (August-September)
  • Mid-cycle recruiters (October-January)
  • Late recruiters (February-April)
This helps you anticipate when to watch for positions from specific companies.
Companies that hired interns in previous years often do so again. Make a target list based on:
  • Companies that appeared in multiple years
  • Companies in your area of interest
  • Companies with strong intern programs
See the range of roles companies offer:
  • Some companies have only general SWE intern roles
  • Others have specialized positions (ML, security, mobile, etc.)
  • This helps you identify companies aligned with your interests
Even closed positions provide value:
  • See what qualifications were listed
  • Understand typical internship locations
  • Identify companies you might have overlooked
