Extreme Blue Technical Intern

Job description

The Extreme Blue internship experience combines great talent and cutting edge technology to drive innovation. Through the program, interns have filed over 600 patent disclosures, helping to create solutions for clients and bring to market the next generation of IBM products.

This combination creates a team dynamic that fosters collaboration and helps interns create both a business and technical case for a project while setting aggressive goals to ensure the end deliverable is extreme enough to survive a competitive marketplace.
