Software Engineer – Intern Program

Location Option(s): Cincinnati, OH & Chicago, IL
Program Duration: May 27, 2025 – August 1, 2025

This program requires you to be in the office 40 hours a week; there are no remote options.

SUMMARY:

Software Engineering at 84.51° incorporates software development, big data, and data science & analytics to build software solutions that enable Kroger and their consumer-packaged goods (CPG) partners to drive value through engagement and a better understanding of their shoppers.

The Software Engineer Internship is a 10-week, full-time paid intern position that will allow you to gain work experience and learn about 84.51°— what we do and how we do it. This program gives you the opportunity to participate in a learning experience where you will work collaboratively with 84.51° employees directly on one of our development teams. It also gives you the opportunity to build strong bonds with all the other interns across functions as well as network with our 84.51° community.

INTERN PROGRAM:

The Intern Program duration is strictly the dates outlined at the top (interns cannot start or end early or late). Engineering roles are open in our Cincinnati, OH headquarters office and our downtown Chicago, IL office (The Old Post Office). Interns are matched with a manager and mentor to support them during the program. Interns should expect to work in the office Monday-Friday, 40 hours per week, typically between 8am-5pm. Specific team norms around working hours will be communicated by your manager upon starting. Interns should not have conflicts such as classes or other employment during the 84.51° workday.

As a Software Engineer intern, you will work closely with your mentor and an agile cross-functional team leveraging a breadth of technologies in the application engineering and data engineering spaces. You will be using technologies in one or more of these areas: web application development frameworks, big data platform technologies, user interface design standards, and any associated tools needed to write, test, and deliver software. You will build applications and transform data into meaningful insights writing scalable and robust software and data solutions for real business problems.

Upon completion of the 10-week internship, if we believe you met objectives while demonstrating our 84.51° values, you will be offered a position to join us full-time as part of 84.51° Development Program after graduation (or offer another Internship if you have another summer before graduating).
