Co Op positions typically involve working with experienced developers on real projects, writing and testing code, and learning about software development processes. These roles are designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and professional work, helping students develop technical and teamwork skills. Co Op terms usually last for a semester or summer and may be paid or unpaid, depending on the company. This experience can significantly enhance a student's employability after graduation.

You'll often work under the guidance of experienced developers, contributing to real-world applications and gaining hands-on experience with current development tools and practices. Collaboration with cross-functional teams, such as QA, design, and product management, is common, providing valuable exposure to the software development lifecycle and team-based problem solving.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a computer programmer co op, and why are they important?

Job description

Remote (Canada) · Full-time (40 hrs/week) · Term: January 4 - April 22, 2027


About Flexspring

Everything connects. That's not just our tagline - it's the whole job.

Flexspring is an iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) built for one of the thornier problems in enterprise software: getting HR systems to actually talk to each other. We link payroll, recruiting, benefits, and HRIS platforms API-to-API so data moves between them cleanly and in near real-time, with no manual re-entry anywhere. The results back it up - 3,000+ integrations delivered, 800+ clients including Fortune 500 companies, ADP Marketplace Platinum Partner, and named HR Data Integration Experts of the Year 2025. And we do it all as a remote-first team spread across Canada and beyond.


The Opportunity

We're looking for a Full Stack Software Developer Co-op to join our R&D team - and we'll be upfront about what that means.

This is real experience, in the fullest sense. No throwaway side project, no busywork to fill the term - from your first weeks you'll work on our actual product, as a real part of the team, shipping features that real customers depend on. Many of our co-ops go on to join us full-time after graduation.

You'll work mainly in a Java-based stack, and you'll quickly find that integration work is half code, half business reasoning - every feature exists because a real company needs its HR data to move without breaking. If you like building things that ship, and you tend to ask "what is this really for?" before writing a line of code, we'd love to hear from you.


What You'll Be Working On

  • Building and improving features in Flexspring's product - and understanding the customer problem each one solves
  • Writing backend and full stack code in Java and JavaScript
  • Working with APIs and the data flowing between HR systems, where getting the small details right is the whole job
  • Using modern tooling, AI included, to work efficiently - and reviewing what it produces with a careful eye before it ships
  • Writing and running tests so you know your work holds up before it reaches a customer
  • Collaborating with experienced developers through code reviews and team discussions


What We're Looking For


  • Strong analytical thinking. You like connecting the work in front of you to the reason it matters - the why, the outcome, the customer on the other end. Seeing the full picture is more satisfying to you than just closing a ticket.
  • A thoughtful approach to new tools. You enjoy picking up unfamiliar technology, including AI tools, and using it to work faster and smarter. You also know that generating output is only the start - the real value is in reviewing it, catching what's off, and being able to stand behind the result.
  • You've already completed minimum one co-op term or have some relevant professional work experience - this won't be your first time in a real work environment
  • You're currently studying Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
  • A solid foundation in Java and JavaScript
  • Some exposure to Spring and JUnit (school projects absolutely count)
  • You've worked with or learned about APIs
  • You're curious, motivated, and enjoy getting to the bottom of a problem


Nice to Haves

  • Experience with REST APIs, React, GraphQL, Groovy, JMS, or SOAP
  • Interest in integration platforms (iPaaS) and how systems connect
  • Curiosity about how large systems talk to each other - and what happens when they don't


What You'll Walk Away With

  • Real, hands-on experience shipping to a production platform that real customers rely on
  • Mentorship from senior developers who'll invest in how you think, not just the code you write
  • A working understanding of how HR data actually moves between enterprise systems
  • Real practice using AI and modern dev tooling the way strong engineers do - fast, but with judgment
  • Competitive co-op pay
  • Flexible hours in a remote-first environment
  • A strong chance to grow into a full-time role after graduation
