Epic Software Internship: Shaping the Future of Healthcare

Introduction

An internship at Epic offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the healthcare industry while developing valuable software engineering skills. As a software development intern at Epic, you'll take ownership of a meaningful and challenging project that will help shape the future of healthcare. You'll be mentored by brilliant colleagues, collaborate with fellow interns, and accomplish something that you can be proud of. Epic internships happen year round with work terms ranging from 3-4 months. We post roles well in advance of the intended start date, so check back often for updates. Each role will remain posted until we find a match.

Position Summary: Ownership and Impact

As a software development intern at Epic, you'll take ownership of a meaningful and challenging project that will help shape the future of healthcare. You will immediately be immersed in our dev teams like any other member of the team. Epic's environment is one of continuous learning; you'll have access to opportunities to expand your skill set and share your knowledge with others. We'll make sure you have the background and tools you need to succeed, but you'll hit the ground running and own your project in its entirety - from gaining an understanding of your users' needs to handling design, development, testing, and documentation. We'll give you a lot to do, and we'll expect you to deliver something great.

The software we create directly improves the way 325 million patients around the world receive healthcare - in fact, it's likely that you'll be affecting the life of someone close to you. You'll need to take your work seriously, but that doesn't mean you'll have to take yourself too seriously (having fun is part of our mission). You'll find a rare combination of intellectually demanding and interesting projects that contribute to the greater good, allowing you to find true fulfillment in what you do.

Life in Madison: Affordability and Opportunity

Epic is located just outside Madison, Wisconsin, the second fastest growing market for tech talent in the United States and home to the state capital and the University of Wisconsin. Live affordably in a city known for its rising tech talent. Madison, a city surrounded by water, has received accolades for being the greenest city in America (NerdWallet), the best city for renters (SmartAsset), the fittest city in America (Fitbit), and the third best metro in the US for young professionals (Forbes Advisor). More than just important work.

Perks and Benefits: More Than Just a Job

Our uniquely themed campus was designed to heighten your ability to get stuff done in your office, a conference room, or by the fireplace in a comfy chair. All meals are restaurant-quality but cost only a few dollars, and they’re prepared by a team comprised of kitchen talent from restaurants around the country. And, after five years here, you’ll earn a four-week sabbatical anywhere in the world. Staff have kayaked in Patagonia, attended a Beyoncé concert in Ireland, built a library in Tanzania, and run a marathon in Antarctica. Healthcare is global, and building the best ideas from around the world into Epic software is a point of pride. This role is with Epic.

Learn: Expand Your Knowledge

LearnUnreal Engine is the fastest-growing skill requirement in real-time and 3D graphics. Browse online courses through our free learning platform providing hands-on video courses and guided learning paths. Attend developer conferences, such as GDC. If you are not able to participate, many of the talks later become freely available and make excellent learning content.

Create Content: Share and Grow

This could take the form of an independent or collaborative project with students or professionals as an opportunity to share knowledge and seek constructive feedback. Participate in Game Jams, either through major publicized events, local chapters, or even start your own with a group of friends. Epic MegaJam is one example in addition to the many you can find on sites like itch.io. Enter competitions, such as The Rookie Awards for 3D Art. Explore what’s out there for your desired discipline. These do not need to be major events; even small student-led competitions are great opportunities for experience and exposure to learning new skills. Consider joining industry-focused organizations, student clubs, online communities, and/or Discord channels e.g.

Equal Opportunity Employer

Bring your passion and know-how to the table, and we'll put you to work on real-world projects.
