Software Developer Co-op

About Shift

At Shift, we’re building technology that helps people work smarter online — and we’re looking for curious, motivated developers to help shape what comes next. As a Software Developer Co-op, you’ll join a collaborative team where your work has real impact from day one. Whether your interests lean front-end, back-end, or full-stack, you’ll contribute meaningful code, help solve customer-reported issues, review pull requests, and support the delivery of high-quality software experiences.

Throughout your co-op, you’ll gain hands-on experience working in an Agile environment alongside experienced engineers who care deeply about mentorship, collaboration, and building maintainable code. You’ll sharpen your skills across modern web technologies, testing, debugging, and development workflows while taking ownership of impactful projects and features.

If you’re passionate about technology, excited to learn, and energized by solving real-world problems with a good-humoured team, Shift could be the perfect place to grow your career.
