Software Development Engineer Intern Jobs in Alberta

What We Offer

At Convverge, we build business-level applications on Microsoft Azure, SharePoint, and the Power Platform that solve complex, high-stakes problems for our clients. We're regional leaders in a growing cloud technology space — and we're growing with it. You'll work alongside developers, architects, and designers who take quality seriously, on projects that challenge you to think beyond the task in front of you.

About Our Team

We're a close-knit, high-trust team that moves fast and counts on each other to deliver. We're passionate problem solvers who lead with quality, not just in what we build, but in how we work together and with our clients.

We believe small, empowered teams do their best work when they're trusted to own outcomes. That means less bureaucracy, more accountability, and the kind of environment where your contributions are visible and your growth is real.

We value diverse backgrounds and experiences, because the best solutions come from teams that don't all think the same way.
