Software Programmer Intern Jobs in Quebec (NOW HIRING)

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:

• Search API team: The team is responsible for how Coveo retrieves information from the index and for the surrounding 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.
• ML Platform Building team: The team develops and maintains the model training platform used across Coveo. They provide the infrastructure, tools, and observability needed to experiment, access metrics, monitor workloads, and validate model performance. As an intern, you'll implement backend improvements that strengthen the platform's resilience and visibility, directly supporting the teams behind Coveo's AI-powered experiences.

• You are currently studying Software Engineering or Computer Science in a Bachelor's degree or higher in the province of Quebec.
• 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.
