The Opportunity

If you’re early in your software development journey and ready to help build and assure quality for software that runs at real-world scale, this is that kind of opportunity. As a Software Development Tester co-op student, you'll gain hands-on quality assurance and testing experience while applying concepts from your coursework to real-world technical challenges. You'll work alongside experienced developers and software testers who will mentor and support your growth throughout your placement.

You won’t be observing from the sidelines. You’ll be learning by doing, designing test suites, executing automated and manual testing, and contributing to quality assurance for infrastructure that runs in production at scale.

We have multiple Co-op opportunities in Vancouver for students seeking a work-integrated learning experience as part of their degree program.
