Endace Summer Internship Program 2025/2026

Our 2025–2026 summer intern program is now open for applications! 

An internship with Endace provides you with the ideal start to your engineering career; you will have a meaningful, challenging, and commercially relevant project to work on, with support from both a mentor and project manager. 

Over the course of your 12-week internship you will be exposed to all the operational facets of a high performing high-tech organisation and be paid well while you’re doing it.  It is truly the best kick start to a tech career you could ask for!

We have 4 projects to offer this year all running from November 2025 to February 2026. To be eligible for anyone of our projects you must:

• Be enrolled in or recently graduated from a New Zealand tertiary education institution studying towards an undergraduate, honours, postgrad diploma/certificate or con-joint undergraduate degree in Computer Science, Software Development or Engineering
• Have the right to live and work in New Zealand and be able to participate in the programme in Hamilton, New Zealand
• Have an understanding of basic networking. 

Applications will close on 19 September 2025.  

In the application we will ask you for:

• CV showing details of projects you may have completed as part of your studies, and any work experience
• Copy of your academic transcript or equivalent.
• Covering letter indicating:
• which project or projects you are applying for
• your key area of interest or specialisation, and
• a statement on what benefits your preferred project choice will have to your studies and future career path.

2025- 2026 Projects

Chaos Engineering

With any distribution system, failures and outages should be incorporated into the system design to make the fabric robust and resilient.  This project aims to build a framework to trigger arbitrary failure modes (“chaos”) within an EndaceFabric and instrument or verify the outcome and implement a few chaos mechanisms and demonstrate the functionality of the projects to potentially enable us to find issues earlier in a release.

 Candidates for this project should have:

•       Able to create applications written in Python and interact with Python libraries

•       Familiarity developing for Linux based environments; including interacting with command line applications

•       Understanding of basic computer networking and common networking protocols

•       Understanding of HTTP based APIs with the ability to write code and consume them

•       Basic skills using Git version control.

OSm Process Monitor

This project aims to create a tool to track processes that use CPUs to help optimise system profiles, analyse process activity and how we assign Realtime Priorities to threads in CPD or other processes in Osm, especially under heavy load. 

Candidates for this project should have:

•       Good understanding developing in a Linux environment

•       Experience with C, Python

•       Familiarity with Git

•       Basic understanding of operating systems and process management is desirable.

IM Load Testing

We have automated load testing for a single probe but we do not have a way to load test an IM. This project would extend the existing multi-user load testing to the IM using a Fabric while making some improvements to the code. The main aim of this project is to monitor the Fabric under load and look for errors. Further, collect SNMP metrics at timely intervals to generate an easily readable report that would indicate if the IM is behaving better/worse than the previous release under similar circumstances.

Candidates for this project should have:

•       Ability to read and comprehend existing codebases

•       Experience with Linux, Web technologies

•       Experience with Python and Docker

•       Knowledge of SNMP and Robot Framework is desirable but not required

•       Basic skills using Git version control.

Cloud Packet Capture Performance

This project aims to improve packet capture performance for Endace virtual appliances in public and private cloud environments by leveraging the Linux Express Data Path feature.  All major Cloud provider and virtualisation drivers have support for XDP (Amazon, Azure, Google, Oracle, VMware, KVM virtio). Usage of this technology can improve performance and lower overhead of capturing real traffic in Cloud and virtualised environments.

Candidates for this project should have:

·       Familiarity with Linux shell commands

·       Experience with C, Python

·       Familiarity with networking and networking protocols

·       Familiarity with Cloud or virtualisation environments desirable

·       Basic skills using Git version control desirable.
