Software Engineering Intern

Power the Possibilities  

The CDK Global technology team is looking for collaborative innovators who are passionate about making their mark on emerging enterprise software products. We’re building and developing cloud technology for the automotive retail industry that will change the landscape for automotive dealers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the customers they serve.  

Be Part of Something Bigger  

Each year, more than three percent of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) is attributed to the auto industry, which flows through our customer, the auto dealer. It’s time you joined an evolving marketplace where research and development investment is measured in the tens of billions. It’s time you were a part of something bigger.  

We’re expanding our workforce – engineers, architects, developers and more – onboarding early adopters who can optimize, pivot, and keep pace with ever-evolving development roadmaps and applications.

CDK’s award-winning Summer Internship Program is full-time and paid hourly from June 9th to August 15th, 2025.
