Job description

What We Offer

At Convverge, we build business-critical solutions using Microsoft technologies including Power Platform, Azure, Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, SharePoint, and Microsoft's AI and Copilot ecosystem. We help organizations modernize business processes, unlock insights from their data, and create secure, responsible AI-enabled experiences for employees and customers.

In our Junior Developer Co-op program, you'll gain hands-on experience across two of our fastest-growing practices. This unique 12-month opportunity provides six months of experience with our Software Development team and six months with our Data & Analytics team, giving you exposure to both application development and modern data platforms. You'll work alongside experienced developers, architects, consultants, and analysts while contributing to real client projects that make a measurable impact.

About Our Team

We're a close-knit, high-trust team that moves fast and counts on each other to deliver. We're passionate problem solvers who lead with quality, not just in what we build, but in how we work together and with our clients.

We believe small, empowered teams do their best work when they're trusted to own outcomes. That means less bureaucracy, more accountability, and the kind of environment where your contributions are visible and your growth is real.

We value diverse backgrounds and experiences, because the best solutions come from teams that don't all think the same way.

About the Role

This is more than a traditional software development co-op. During your placement, you'll spend time working with both our Software Development and Data & Analytics teams and contribute directly to active client engagements. You'll help build business applications, automate processes, develop analytics solutions, and explore how Microsoft Copilot, AI agents, and generative AI capabilities can be applied to real business needs using modern Microsoft cloud technologies.

By the end of the program, you'll have gained experience across both application development and data-driven solution delivery, providing a strong foundation for a career in technology consulting and software development.
