Short answer: Big tech opened Summer 2027 software internships between July and October 2026, and most still review on a rolling basis. Google's first posting ran July 21 to 24, Amazon posted its main SDE internship on September 17, and Microsoft, Apple and NVIDIA were still taking applications on November 9, 2026. Smaller companies, startups and non-tech employers hire into spring. That day, Useno listed 638 software engineering internships.

Everyone else
Banks, retailers, healthcare companies, startups and government contractors all hire software interns, and many post from November to April. Their applicant pools are often smaller than big tech's.
Rolling review is the real deadline
Few software internships publish a closing date. Most review as applications arrive and close when filled. Apply within days of a posting going up, and expect an online coding test early in the process at large companies.
