Engineering Intern - Forge Automated Code Assessment (Summer 2027)
About The Position
Millennial Software is seeking two Engineering Interns for a 12-week Summer 2027 program, from May 17 through August 6, at its Chantilly, Virginia headquarters. Interns will work on Forge, a DevSecOps and capability platform, to build an automated codebase assessment stage. The stage will assess repository contents, structure, deployment readiness, and produce a written narrative for program managers. The initial run will cover Millennial Software repositories and provide leadership with a consolidated portfolio view during Expedition integration. The work includes developing inventory, structure, and deployment analyzers; implementing a weighted scoring model and portfolio roll-up; and building an LLM narrative layer that generates readable reports and ranked remediation lists. Findings must trace to specific files or dependencies, and narrative quality will be evaluated against a mentor-authored rubric in Keystone. Interns will also run an external open-source repository through the system and present the completed portfolio report at a leadership readout. Interns will be paired with primary and backup mentors, participate in daily standups, bi-weekly sprint planning and demos, and scheduled checkpoints and reviews. The program is full-time and on site in Chantilly, with remote flexibility mentioned.
