What does it take to build, improve, and scale the backend systems behind search, indexing, and machine learning?

Are you curious about the systems that power information retrieval, index querying, and machine learning development at scale? Coveo is looking for Software Development Interns to join teams within Research & Development, where you'll contribute to meaningful backend projects that support real-world products and client-facing solutions. Your mission? Help improve critical services, strengthen backend infrastructure, and gain hands-on experience in large-scale engineering environments.

You could work on one of the following projects:

As an intern, you'll contribute to refactoring initiatives that help align the Search API service with the rest of R&D, while learning how to make incremental changes to a critical service.
  • Query-Index team: This team works on index query-related systems, including how Coveo retrieves information from the index and the related technologies that support that flow. As an intern, you'll gain practical experience with regular engineering workflows while also owning a project from requirements gathering to delivery.
Your impact, day to day:
  • Engage actively in daily stand-up meetings to discuss progress, roadblocks, and plans. Collaborate with team members to ensure alignment and effective communication.

  • Develop your skills by drawing on your mentor's expertise. Watch, learn, and apply the best practices, methodologies, and strategies used in project management and software development.
  • Take an active role in code review sessions. Offer constructive feedback and receive advice on how to raise the quality of your code, follow best practices and strengthen your programming skills.
The Essentials:
  • You are currently studying Software Engineering or Computer Science in a Bachelor's degree or higher in the province of Québec.
  • You are able to work from one of our offices 2 days a week. Our hybrid work model offers flexibility, you can benefit from face-to-face learning from your team on office days while home days allow you to focus and complete complex work.
  • You are legally entitled to work full-time in Canada for the duration of the 15 week internship.
Think you've got what it takes? Let's see!
  • You have experience in:
    • To join the Search API team: Scala, Java or Kotlin, experience with microservices, SpringBoot, or APIs is a bonus.
    • To join the Query-Index team: C++, experience with Java or SQL is a bonus.
  • You have completed an internship.
