Job Description

YOUR NEXT CO-OP PLACEMENT

Work term: Winter 2027

Work term length: 8 months

From classroom to co-op to career, every step of your journey has an impact on your future. That’s why it makes sense to choose a co-op placement with a company that offers truly rewarding work and real-life experience. At Definity®, your contributions, creativity, and energy will be put to good use, and you’ll get to be involved with initiatives that support our strategic goals and use your skills in a supportive team environment.

If you’re looking for a company that takes care of its people — full time, part time, and co-ops alike — and has a track record of doing big things, get ready to love it here.

What can you expect in this role?

We are looking for a Cloud Engineer Co-op. Through this work, you will apply both technical and analytical skills while gaining hands-on experience with cloud platforms, DevOps automation, Infrastructure-as-Code, and AI-powered engineering tools. You will gain significant exposure to AWS and Google Cloud Platform, CI/CD pipelines, cloud operations, observability, and emerging AI technologies, while helping improve developer productivity, platform reliability, and engineering efficiency.

This is an ideal opportunity for third- and fourth-year students pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. This position reports to the Technology Solutions - Infrastructure & Cloud Engineering team.

What you’ll be doing

  • Build and automate cloud solutions using AWS, GCP, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and Infrastructure-as-Code practices to improve platform reliability, scalability, and developer productivity.
  • Develop AI-powered engineering tools and agents leveraging Gemini, Vertex AI, and enterprise-approved AI services to automate documentation, code analysis, testing, and operational tasks.
  • Improve developer experience through automation, including repository documentation generation, pull request summarization, self-service tooling, and platform workflows that reduce manual effort for engineering teams.
  • Assist with cloud operations and observability, analyzing logs, troubleshooting incidents, creating dashboards, and using AI-assisted insights to accelerate root cause analysis and improve service reliability.
  • Research, prototype, and measure AI use cases that drive measurable productivity gains across Cloud Engineering, such as automated testing, access reviews, cost optimization, and operational intelligence.

What you bring

  • Pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technology discipline.
  • Foundational knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS and/or Google Cloud Platform), including compute, storage, networking, and security concepts.
  • Experience with at least one programming language such as Python, Java, Go, or JavaScript, with the ability to develop scripts, APIs, or automation solutions.
  • Understanding of Generative AI concepts and tools, including exposure to Gemini, Vertex AI, GitHub Copilot, or similar AI-assisted development technologies, with a passion for using AI to improve engineering productivity.
  • Familiarity with DevOps and automation practices, including Git, CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform preferred), and automated testing concepts.

  • We care about our co-ops: Definity’s co-op students are considered the best pipeline of talent for our full-time, permanent positions.
  • We care about students: Definity distributes $85,000 in scholarships to students across Canada each year.
  • We care about our community: Definity donates more than $1 million every year to causes that drive true change in the neighbourhoods in which we live and work.

What can Definity offer you?

  • Meaningful work forwarding our purpose of building a better world by helping our clients and communities adapt and thrive in their hardest times of need.
  • Culture of accountability, empowerment, and collaboration.
  • Opportunities to support personal and professional growth through real-life experience and unique learning opportunities. Our Leadership Essentials program builds knowledge and skills to Team Leaders to Directors
  • Opportunity to join our employee groups - focused on women's empowerment, LGBTQ+, anti-racism and cultural equity, and environmental activism.
  • Determined to create positive change for our environment, our people, and our communities, now and in the future. Check our ESG work!

  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
