Job Summary
IQVIA Software Engineer Intern 2026 – Full Job Details
The IQVIA Software Engineer Intern 2026 employer is a global provider of clinical research services, commercial insights and healthcare intelligence to the life sciences industry. This internship sits in Product Engineering, building next-generation AI-powered enterprise applications alongside experienced architects, developers and quality engineers.
What makes IQVIA Software Engineer Intern 2026 unusual is that it combines two disciplines most internships keep separate: AI application development and test automation. You would be building LLM-backed features and designing the frameworks that verify them. That is a genuinely useful combination early in a career, because very few engineers can do both well.
What You Will Do
- Design, develop, test and maintain software components using Python
- Build, consume and validate REST APIs and integrations across enterprise applications
- Develop AI-powered solutions using LLMs, Agentic AI, Prompt Engineering and RAG
- Contribute to backend services using FastAPI and microservices architecture
- Design and implement automated test frameworks for functional, integration, API and end-to-end testing
- Create reusable automation scripts to improve product quality and reliability
- Execute functional, regression, integration and performance test plans
- Analyse defects, identify root causes and work with development teams on fixes
- Work with structured and unstructured data to implement business rules and validation logic
- Participate in code reviews, debugging, performance optimisation and technical documentation
- Collaborate with Product Managers, Architects, Developers and QA teams across global locations
Required Qualifications
- Pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Computer Applications or a related technical discipline
- Strong analytical, problem-solving and debugging skills
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Ability to work effectively in a collaborative Agile environment
- Genuine interest in software engineering, automation, AI and emerging technologies
In IQVIA Software Engineer Intern 2026, Agentic AI and RAG are named in the responsibilities, not the nice-to-haves. That is a higher AI bar than most internships set. You are not expected to arrive an expert – the required qualifications ask only for analytical skills and interest – but a candidate who has actually built a retrieval pipeline or an agent workflow will be far ahead of one who has only used ChatGPT. If you have the time before applying, build one small RAG demo.

- Open the IQVIA careers listing using the Apply button on this page
- Confirm the requisition reads R1567860 and pick Gurugram or Bengaluru
- Create your profile and upload a resume leading with Python
- Name any FastAPI, REST API, LLM, RAG or test automation work explicitly
- Be accurate in everything you submit – IQVIA states a zero-tolerance policy on candidate fraud and disqualifies false or incomplete information
How to Prepare
For IQVIA Software Engineer Intern 2026, build one project that covers both halves of the role: a small FastAPI service that answers questions over your own documents using retrieval, with a set of automated tests that verify the endpoints behave correctly. That single artefact demonstrates Python, FastAPI, REST, RAG and test automation together – five of the listed responsibilities, and almost nobody applying will have combined them.
For the interview, expect debugging scenarios more than algorithm puzzles. The IQVIA Software Engineer Intern 2026 qualifications name debugging explicitly, and the responsibilities include root cause analysis, so practise explaining how you would isolate a failure systematically.
