We’re the Applied Research team at Cisco ThousandEyes. Our mission is simple but ambitious: use Internet-scale data to build network assurance solutions that help enterprises see, understand, and fix problems across the Internet, cloud, and enterprise networks.
We sit at the intersection of research, data science, AI/ML, and product. That means we don’t just analyse data. We turn ideas into algorithms, prototypes into products, and insights into features that customers rely on when things break at 3am!
This internship sits within the BGP research group, where we study how BGP is used in the real world and develop algorithms, analyses, and tools that improve understanding of how networks interconnect and how to better protect this critical Internet infrastructure.
As an intern, you’ll collaborate closely with experienced researchers, engineers, and product partners. You’ll use statistics, data science, and AI/ML techniques to analyse large-scale BGP data, characterise routing behaviour and dynamics, and prototype algorithms that advance understanding of Internet topology and interconnection.
This internship is designed to be hands-on, impactful, and fast-moving, with a strong emphasis on learning, experimentation, and turning research ideas into practical solutions.
In addition to influencing production systems, your work will contribute to internal research artifacts, technical reports, and research publications. ThousandEyes BGP Research team frequently presents at leading community and academic venues such as NANOG, RIPE, and IMC.
At Cisco, we’re revolutionising how data and infrastructure connect and protect organisations in the AI era – and beyond. We’ve been innovating fearlessly for 40 years to create solutions that power how humans and technology work together across the physical and digital worlds. These solutions provide customers with unparalleled security, visibility, and insights across the entire digital footprint.
Fuelled by the depth and breadth of our technology, we experiment and create meaningful solutions. Add to that our worldwide network of doers and experts, and you’ll see that the opportunities to grow and build are limitless. We work as a team, collaborating with empathy to make really big things happen on a global scale. Because our solutions are everywhere, our impact is everywhere.
We are Cisco, and our power starts with you.
