Hootsuite's developers would love to help Computer Science/Engineering Co-op students develop their technical skills and knowledge about people, processes, and technology by working with students over their co-op term. You'll pair with a mentor and work remotely alongside a passionate and egoless team, having fun building something bigger than themselves. Experience what it's like to make a difference in people's lives by building the products that our customers turn messages into meaningful relationships.

• Iterate in an agile fashion; creating hypotheses and testing them with incremental changes
• Work-out-loud by sharing your work and experiences internally and with our community
• You'll be working with our FE tech stack (TypeScript, Javascript, React, Redux, React Testing Library, Playwright, HTML/CSS)

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• Experience shipping code or a demonstrated interest in programming or technical skills
• A demonstrated history of creative thinking and collaborative problem solving
• A drive to complete things because you want to, not because you have to
• Collaboration and Teamwork: works with others to deliver results, meaningfully contributing to the team and prioritizing group needs over individual needs
• Creativity and Innovation: seeks new and better ways of doing things, generates original and imaginative ideas, products, or solutions
• Courage: steps up to address difficult issues, saying what needs to be said
• Open Communication: clearly conveys thoughts, both written and verbally, listening attentively and asking questions for clarification and understanding

WHO YOU ARE:

• Solution seeker: You're focused on tackling new challenges, solving problems, and moving the business forward—and you don't wait to be asked.
• Lifelong learner: You have a growth mindset – you're here to learn, experiment, seek, apply, and provide feedback, share what works with your team, and move on from what doesn't.
• Resilient adapter: In the face of change and challenges, you bring a thoughtful, calm approach and a focus on finding new opportunities.
• Intentional collaborator. You build positive working relationships across the business, bringing people together to foster new opportunities and to facilitate the efficient flow of information.
• Critical challenger: You have the trust in your team to ask difficult questions in order to get to the best end result.
• Active communicator: You listen actively and communicate ideas and information clearly, inclusively, and proactively.
• Integrated thinker: You look beyond your role and responsibilities to understand how your team's work drives broader organizational goals.
• Accountable owner: You take pride in the work you're responsible for with a mindset of ultimate accountability and reliability for the outcomes.
• Bar-raiser: You step up to help your team grow and succeed, even when that means going beyond what might be expected.
