ServiceNow runs a paid internship and co-op program across the US, Asia Pacific and Europe, plus a set of earlier-stage programs for students who aren't ready to apply for a full internship yet. ApplyBolt's live board doesn't show a 2027-specific internship posting for ServiceNow right now, since the company typically opens applications closer to the summer start date, but the roles below show what's open at ServiceNow generally while you wait.
That gap is worth sitting with for a second. A company can run a well-regarded, genuinely paid internship program and still have zero internship-labeled postings live in early August, because the recruiting calendar for enterprise software companies runs later than banking or accounting. Bookmark the program and come back through the fall.
What ServiceNow actually does
ServiceNow builds a cloud platform that large organizations use to automate internal workflows: IT service management, HR case handling, customer service operations and similar processes that used to run on email chains and spreadsheets. It's enterprise software, not a consumer product, so interns build and support tools that other companies' employees use every day rather than something with a public storefront or app.
The programs, from first exposure to full-time
| Program | Who it's for | What it involves |
|---|---|---|
| Discover ServiceNow | First- and second-year students | Exploration program with leadership meetings and workshops, not a placement |
| Internship and co-op program | Undergraduate and above | Paid roles across engineering, product, design and business teams, with global exposure |
| NextGen Professionals | Underrepresented talent | Bootcamp with a certification pathway into the broader talent pipeline |
| Launchpad Academy | New early-career hires | Year-long program with monthly workshops, mentorship and a global cohort |
The intent behind the ladder is straightforward: get students in the door early through Discover ServiceNow, convert a chunk of them into paid interns, and land as many of those interns as possible into a full-time role that starts them off in Launchpad Academy. If you're a freshman or sophomore, Discover ServiceNow is worth applying to even though it isn't a job.
What background you need
ServiceNow says its internships welcome all backgrounds and skill levels, not just technical majors, since the program spans engineering, product, design and business teams rather than being a software-only pipeline. There's currently no high school track; the programs start at the undergraduate level. International sponsorship depends on the specific role, so check that detail on each posting instead of assuming it either way.
Pay and what to expect
ServiceNow says its internships are paid at competitive market rates but doesn't publish a fixed number, and postings don't consistently list a range. As with most large enterprise software companies, expect an hourly wage well above a typical student job, with the exact figure varying by role, level and location. Interns who don't get a return offer can still be considered for a return internship the following year, based on performance and business need.
How to apply
Applications go through ServiceNow's own careers site, and the company explicitly says students can apply to multiple roles and reapply even after a past rejection. Joining ServiceNow's talent community is a reasonable way to get notified when the 2027 internship postings actually go live, since the general "ServiceNow" search on job boards will otherwise mostly turn up full-time roles like the ones showing below.
