Short answer: Amazon posted its Software Development Engineer Intern, Summer 2027 (USA) role on September 17, 2026, and it was still accepting applications on November 9, 2026. Amazon accepts applications on an ongoing basis, so earlier is better. On November 9, 2026, Useno's Amazon page listed 25+ open roles.

Who can apply to the SDE internship

The posting asks for an expected degree between October 2027 and September 2029, with at least one term of school left after the internship. That window includes most current sophomores and juniors, so sophomores do not need a separate program to apply.

Other Amazon internships

  • Team-specific software internships, posted through the fall (one went up on November 5, 2026).
  • Product, program management, UX, business analyst and supply chain roles.
  • Finance: Useno listed an Amazon Finance Rotational Program accounting intern role for Summer 2027 on November 2, 2026.

What to do now

  • Apply now rather than waiting for a deadline; there is none on the posting.
  • Expect an online assessment early in the process for software roles.
  • Apply to the team postings too. They are separate from the main posting.
  • Keep your degree dates exact on the application, since the eligibility window is checked.

Last year, for comparison

In the SimplifyJobs public internship list, Amazon's first Summer 2026 role appeared on August 22, 2025, and its first Summer 2027 role on September 4, 2026. The list leans toward software, data and finance roles, so read these as the earliest postings it caught, not official opening dates.
