Software Engineer Co-op (May-October)

Duties And Responsibilities

• Build and enhance backend services and internal tools (primarily in Java and JavaScript/TypeScript).
• Develop features that improve observability: metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, alerts, and runbooks.
• Create automation that reduces operational toil (e.g., workflows for incident response, diagnostics, and remediation).
• Integrate with common monitoring and ticketing systems via APIs; design clean, maintainable interfaces.
• Contribute to AI-enabled operations features (e.g., summarizing incidents, recommending next-steps, anomaly triage, or assisted diagnostics) while considering data privacy and security.
• Write unit/integration tests and help improve CI/CD quality signals so manual testing can focus on high-risk areas.
• Participate in an agile team model: scope tasks, propose solutions, implement, and communicate progress.

Required Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in a Master’s degree program in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field.
• 1-2 years of hands-on coding experience (school, personal, or internship) building software in at least two languages; must include Java and JavaScript (or TypeScript).
• Strong fundamentals: data structures, debugging, version control (Git), and writing readable, maintainable code.
• Comfortable working with RESTful APIs and JSON; familiarity with basic networking concepts is a plus.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills; ability to collaborate across engineering and operations stakeholders.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) or containerization (Docker/Kubernetes) is a plus.
• Experience with observability tooling (e.g., OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/Opensearch, Datadog, Splunk) is a plus.
• Experience building internal tools or automation (scripts, CLIs, Slack/Teams bots, workflow engines) is a plus.
• Exposure to security concepts (authN/authZ, secrets management) in production systems is a plus.
