Safe Software Hiring for Full-Stack Software Developer Intern (September 2022) at Surrey, BC Full Time

Safe Software is looking for a Full-Stack Software Developer Intern to join our Cloud Applications Development team.

Application Deadline: Tuesday, May 24th 8:00am PST

Our student internships have the opportunity to be fully remote in Canada or hybrid/on-premise at our office based in Surrey, BC, Canada.

About The Team

As a member of our Cloud Applications development team, you will play a big part in keeping our technology cutting-edge. Safe counts on student developers like you to play an important role in the design, implementation, and testing of key software components. From the start, you’ll be working on projects that will lead to shipping production code. We know your work will make a difference to not just your resume but to our products and customers.

Our Cloud Applications development team practices Agile development and utilizes Kanban boards to manage their backlog, epics and stories. As a Full-Stack Software Developer Intern, you will regularly participate in team meetings (stand-ups) and have the chance to voice your ideas and perspectives within a small team setting (6 person team).

Life At Safe

At Safe, we give our students interns opportunities to work on meaningful projects during their term. Each student typically starts with a 4-month placement, with opportunity for extension. Our collaborative environment means that there is ample opportunity for coaching, mentorship, and learning. To date, over 25% of our current full-time staff were formerly student interns.

On your first day, you’ll join a cohort of fellow interns and participate in virtual Orientation Week sessions before meeting your team to get role-specific training. This helps us to ensure all student interns (regardless of where they are working in Canada) have the same opportunity to meet the team. You’ll receive a computer with the peripherals you need to set up your at-home workstation, along with some new hire swag (of course). Throughout your work term, you’ll find a number of virtual activities to join like virtual coffee chats or team building games to get to know other Safers!
