Software Development Co-op (Spring 2025)

We are looking for creative team members who love to develop software. We want to work with people that make learning and teaching others a fundamental part of every day. We expect our engineers to be curious about how they can apply technology to make a meaningful impact to our customers. In particular, we’re looking to hire a Software Engineering CO-OP who is a member of a software development team dedicated to solving customer problems through technology. CO-OPs participate in all facets of the software development lifecycle including requirements gathering, design, development, and testing.

While engineers here are exposed to many different aspects of development, each individual is given opportunities to grow in areas that interest them most. For some it is UX design and front-end development, and others it might be API design and back-end development. Senior engineers are here to mentor along the way, but even co-ops can take the lead in introducing new technology to the team! Learning together is a big part of what enables us to deliver the best solutions for our customers while also growing our teams’ capabilities.
