<h3>Job Summary</h3> Rootly’s Product Engineer Co-op is a hands-on, 8-month (preferred) internship for computer-science or software-engineering students who want to ship real product at startup speed. You’ll join our small, senior engineering team that builds the AI-native incident-management platform used by companies like NVIDIA and LinkedIn. Under the guidance of a staff engineer, you’ll scope, build, and launch customer-facing features end-to-end—gaining experience across the full stack (Rails + Hotwire) and learning how product decisions are made in a high-growth SaaS startup. <h3>Job Responsibilities</h3> <ul> <li> Ship product features: design, code, test, and release user-facing functionality with mentor support. </li> <li> Full-stack exposure: write Ruby on Rails APIs, craft polished front-end interactions with Turbo/Stimulus, and work with PostgreSQL, Redis, and Sidekiq. </li> <li> AI-assisted development: leverage internal LLM tools (and GitHub Copilot) to accelerate coding, testing, and documentation. </li> <li> Quality &amp; performance: add unit/integration tests and profiling to ensure reliability, security, and speed. </li> <li> Iterate quickly: jump on 1-day bug fixes or 1-week projects; participate in daily stand-ups and code reviews. </li> <li> Customer empathy: join product/UX calls, gather feedback, and help turn insights into shipped improvements. </li> <li> Own your work: monitor your features in production, investigate issues, and drive continuous refinements. </li> </ul> <h3>Required Skills</h3> <ul> <li> Enrolled in a computer-science, software-engineering, or related bachelor’s program and eligible for a co-op/intern term (3rd–5th year preferred). </li> <li> Coursework or project experience with one modern back-end framework (e.g., Ruby on Rails, Django, Node) and a front-end framework (React, Vue, Hotwire, etc.). </li> <li> Comfortable with basic SQL and version control (Git/GitHub). </li> <li> Demonstrated use of AI coding tools (ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.) or strong interest in becoming AI-native. </li> <li> Passion for product quality—an eye for polished UI/UX and the curiosity to understand user problems, not just implement tickets. </li> <li> Solid written and verbal communication; able to explain technical concepts to peers and non-technical stakeholders. </li> <li> Bias for action: you thrive in fast, ambiguous environments and take ownership of outcomes. </li> </ul> <h3>Compensation and Benefits</h3> <ul> <li>Work setup: MacBook Pro, external monitor, and all required software licenses.</li> <li> Hybrid flexibility: work from our downtown Toronto office 2 days/week or more/less if you prefer; remote Fridays. </li> <li> Mentorship &amp; learning: dedicated engineering mentor, weekly tech talks, and a personal development budget (CA $500) for courses or conferences. </li> <li>Potential return offer: high performers may receive an offer for a future full-time Product Engineer role.</li> </ul> <h3>Why Rootly?</h3> We are not just another startup. We are building something category-defining and want engineers who crave ownership, love solving hard problems, and want to work with a team that sets the bar high. If this sounds like the challenge you’re looking for, apply now and let’s build something great together.
