Software Developer - Winter 2027 Co-op

At D2L, we believe that learning should be accessible and engaging.

Our goal is to create easy, flexible, and smart software that ignites the desire to learn in everyone.

To do this, we need to give talented, enthusiastic, and passionate people, like you, opportunities to create, develop, and collaborate on projects that revolutionize the learning environment.

Wee are looking for superstar students to help influence and provide innovative insights into future versions of our Brightspace software.

You’ll thrive in our agile culture, where teams speak freely and collaborate to solve interesting problems, and will be constantly learning and looking for ways to innovate.

If you get stuck, you can work with your assigned mentor to figure out the best way to proceed.

What you’ll get out of working at D2L

The challenges and responsibilities given, ability to learn new things, and work on meaningful product that reaches over 15 million learners daily, are just a few of the things that set D2L apart as a student employer.

With an open office concept and overall work environment (not a single employee has their own office, including our CEO), we are located in the Catalyst137 building in Kitchener.

At D2L, you will have the opportunity to work with the latest technologies to build highly scalable and fault tolerant systems.

On the backend, our product is built on the.NET stack, but we have a growing ecosystem of cloud-native services built on the AWS platform leveraging technologies such as Node.js, SNS, SQS, Kinesis, DynamoDB, Serverless (Lambda), etc.

On the front-end we use Polymer and other web frameworks to build engaging and responsive web apps.

We also build native mobile apps in Kotlin and Swift.

Ultimately, we strive to use the most appropriate technologies to achieve our goal of changing the way the world learns.

You don't need to know how to use these yet, we'll help you learn!

What is D2L looking for from me?

You have a strong entrepreneurial drive, an enthusiastic and dedicated mindset and a thirst for a challenge.

The ability to think on your feet and work successfully both in independent and team-settings is essential.

At D2L, our co-ops have a voice and are able to quickly contribute to their team's objectives (we don’t have “co-op projects”, you’ll be working on real deliverables).
