Description

Role Overview: 

We’re looking for a Software Developer, Cloud Infrastructure (Co-Op) who is excited to learn how modern cloud platforms support AI-driven robotics systems. In this role, you’ll work alongside experienced engineers to help build and improve the cloud services that power our vision-guided robots, gaining hands-on experience with real production systems in a supportive, fast-learning environment. This co-op role requires 8 months term commitment (Jan 2027 - August 2027).

This is an opportunity to apply what you’ve learned in school to real-world infrastructure challenges, while developing practical skills in cloud engineering, DevOps, and distributed systems. This role is based in person at our Vancouver office and is an 8-month co-op term.

What You’ll Do 

  • Build and improve cloud services: Contribute to scalable cloud services running on AWS or GCP. Learn how infrastructure is defined using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and help implement improvements to existing systems. 
  • Work with data and telemetry: Help develop or maintain systems that ingest, store, and expose telemetry from robotic and vision systems, enabling teams to monitor performance and diagnose issues. 
  • Learn reliability and observability practices: Support efforts to instrument services with logging and metrics. Learn how teams think about uptime, monitoring, and safe system changes. 
  • Apply secure engineering principles: Work with senior engineers to understand access control, secrets management, and secure-by-design cloud infrastructure. 
  • Collaborate across teams: Partner with Robotics, Vision, and Software teams to understand how cloud systems support real-world robot deployments. 

What You’ll Learn 

  • How production cloud infrastructure supports AI and robotics systems 
  • Practical use of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CDK, or similar) 
  • Observability, reliability, and secure system design 
  • How cross-functional teams ship and operate complex systems 

Why This Co-Op Is a Great Experience 

  • Real impact, real systems: Your work will support systems used in real factories and not toy projects or internal demos. 
  • Strong mentorship: You’ll work closely with experienced engineers who provide guidance, feedback, and learning opportunities. 
  • Exposure to cutting-edge technology: Robotics, AI, computer vision, and cloud infrastructure all intersect here. 
  • Growth-focused environment: We value curiosity, learning, and thoughtful problem solving over knowing everything on day one. 

What We’re Looking For 

  • Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field 
  • Coursework or project experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or similar) 
  • Programming experience in at least one language (e.g., Python, Go, JavaScript/TypeScript) 
  • Familiarity with Git and basic software development workflows 
  • Interest in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps. 
  • Strong communication skills and willingness to learn 

Nice to Have (Not Required) 

  • Exposure to Docker, containers, or Kubernetes 
  • Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, CDK, CloudFormation) 
  • Experience with CI/CD tools through coursework or personal projects 
  • Interest in robotics, AI, or large-scale systems 

 Why You’ll Love It Here 

  • Purpose with impact: Help enable smarter, safer automation in real industries 
  • Learning by doing: Apply academic knowledge to real production systems 
  • Supportive culture: Collaborative, curious, and people-first 
  • Great location: Gastown office with transit access and a vibrant tech community 

 

The compensation for this co-op role is CAD $3,600 to $4,500 per month. This is your opportunity to gain hands-on learning experience in one of the fastest-growing industries at the intersection of robotics, AI, and industrial automation.

Note: Please ensure you upload both your resume and transcript, either combined into a single file or as separate files.
