Introduction
Still studying? Passionate about software development? At IBM, work is more than a job - it's a calling: To build. To design. To code. To consult. To think along with clients and sell. To make markets. To invent. To collaborate. Not just to do something better, but to attempt things you've never thought possible. Are you ready to lead in this new era of technology and solve some of the world's most challenging problems? If so, let's talk.

Your Role and Responsibilities

Design and Implementation of functionality in the context of Spectrum Protect Plus Client

IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is a modern data resilience solution that provides recovery, replication, retention, and reuse for VMs, databases, applications, file systems, SaaS workloads, and containers in hybrid cloud environments. Data retention, data compliance, and disaster recovery are achieved by copying or archiving data to both on-premises and cloud-based object storage and to IBM Spectrum Protect, including support for physical and virtual tape storage.

Here comes a description of your challenge.

IBM Spectrum Protect Plus offers an application programming interface (API) based on Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Representational State Transfer (REST) architecture. It is used to connect applications to product components in order to query information about objects and to run basic operations.
The open-source community project SPPClient (https://github.com/IBM/sppclient) uses the low-level REST API of the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus product to implement more complex workflows and data queries. The SPPClient is widely used from SPP customers and needs constant improvement.
As part of the internship, you will analyze requirements from customers and identify workflows and algorithm to solve the customer problems. Furthermore, you will implement and test additional scripts or improve existing scripts of the SPPClient to provide the required functionality to customers.
To solve customer requirements that require improvements of the REST API you will work with the IBM development and architecture team to address the limitations and work on solutions.

The internship offers insight into modern development methods as well as working in an international team. Furthermore, the application offers in-depth knowledge of software engineering and modern data protection technologies.
