THE OPPORTUNITY:
Software Developer Co-op reporting to Agile Development Manager, working collaboratively with Software Development Architecture and Development teams to design and engineer solutions that deliver customer value and meet business requirements.
Key responsibilities include participating in software system design, identifying and mitigating development risks, providing real-time DevOps support through bug triage and troubleshooting, and developing code that meets TechInsights' coding standards while preserving design intent. The role involves presenting and defending designs to senior Engineers for review and refinement, facilitating knowledge transfer to and from development teams (particularly at sprint start), and maintaining peer-reviewed technical documentation. The co-op will occasionally develop proof-of-concepts to validate pivotal design concepts and de-risk technical approaches.
Focus areas include large-scale image processing and manipulation, circuit engineering workflows and EDA tools, Angular/React front-end GUI development, design for reuse, and website navigation.
Working under the supervision of senior Engineers, the co-op will learn to quantify technical risks, socialize critical design elements, and participate in engineering debates that shape development direction. This collaborative learning environment emphasizes design iteration, technical problem-solving, and acting as "technical glue" to support the platform's ongoing development.
What You'll Do
Design Technical Solutions - Design software systems that meet or exceed business requirements, including identifying technology stacks, designing for scale and security, mapping requirements to technologies, and defining failover paths
Infrastructure & Deployment - Develop Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to deploy software systems in collaboration with CloudOps specialists
Platform Architecture Contribution - Review and provide feedback on Platform Architecture and Design, acting as a unifying force across teams and contributing to platform reliability and code quality
Proof-of-Concept Development - Implement PoC models to explore difficult technical challenges and present findings to development teams to ensure alignment
Software Implementation - Implement front-end and back-end software solutions, working with development team knowledge resources and leveraging AI for efficient design and implementation
Technical Review & Coordination - Review and verify technical proposals/specs from senior developers and coordinate with Engineering teams on technical investigations for buy/partner decisions
Documentation Management - Document all intellectual property related to TechInsights' software platform and embody knowledge about how the platform works
Telemetry & Monitoring - Contribute to emitting telemetry and monitoring events to support platform observability and performance tracking
DevOps & Bug Resolution - Provide real-time DevOps support, engage in technical problem-solving during platform situations, and work with development teams to correct bugs
Customer Support - Provide end-customer technical support during high-severity platform situations
What You'll Bring
Pursuing post-secondary education in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related discipline
Bias for action and iteration, with the ability to move quickly from planning to execution
Strong analytical and critical thinking skills, including the ability to recognize underlying issues and implications of decisions or courses of action
Well-organized wi
