Job Description:

Software Engineer Co-op: FCAT (Fidelity Center for Applied Technology)

The company

Fidelity Center for Applied Technology (FCAT https://fcatalyst.com/overview) drives innovation to advance Fidelity’s market leadership. FCAT teams assess, test, and scale concepts and ideas involving blockchain, artificial intelligence, fintech, quantum computing, and emerging technologies to enhance customer experiences and keep Fidelity at the forefront of the financial services industry. Celebrating 25 years of innovation, FCAT focuses on these cutting-edge technologies and sociocultural trends to shape the future of financial services.

What you’ll be working on

As a co-op student, you will collaborate with FCAT’s design team, leveraging speculative design philosophies, user research methodologies, and design thinking to envision and create future experiences.

We challenge conventional problem-solving by adopting fresh perspectives to envision bold alternatives—think sci-fi meets financial investing.

Your Role

You will work alongside and support our experienced design team from research and ideation to sketching and rapid prototyping. You will assist in creating multimodal outputs while developing a full story arc. Most projects are iterative and driven by multiple feedback cycles.

What We’re Looking For

We seek someone eager to engage in groundbreaking collaboration, with a bias towards action, the ability to embrace failure, and a strong intellectual curiosity. We value individuals who can play, learn, and have fun. We believe the world would be a better place if we rolled up our sleeves and made prototypes to get quick feedback from real users.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
