Job description

Thanks for taking a look at this role.
Over the past year we’ve built a lot of our own tools, and they’ve changed how our teams work every day.
We’re now ready to add a developer to help us build more of them.
We’re looking for a third- or fourth-year student to join us part-time. This is an in-person role at our
Mississauga HQ, with a minimum of 20 hours per week.
We need someone who can take an idea from one of our teams and turn it into something people rely on
every shift. You’ll work directly with our leadership and operations teams, and you’ll see your work being used
within weeks, not months.
We’re an AI-forward company. AI is part of how we work every day, across every team, and we expect the
same from you. You should already be using AI coding tools to plan, write, test and ship faster, and you
should know how to check their output and not just accept it.
We don’t expect you to know everything. We’re looking for someone curious who asks good questions and
likes building things people actually use. If you’ve built something end to end, even a school project, we want to hear about it.
We’ll work around your class and exam schedule. In return you’ll get real ownership and a close look at how a
growing company runs.
Kind regards,
The Birdseye Team

About Birdseye

Birdseye Security provides remote video monitoring and virtual gate services for logistics, trucking and
industrial yards across North America. Our operators watch over customer sites around the clock, process
trucks and trailers at the gate, and respond to incidents in real time. Technology is at the center of how we do
that, and much of it we build in house.

The role

We’re looking for a third- or fourth-year student to join us part-time as a Software Development Intern. This is
an in-person role at our Mississauga HQ, with a minimum of 20 hours per week during the school year. You’ll work with our operations, customer success and finance teams to build and improve the tools we use every day. Some of what you build will be internal, and some will be used directly by our customers.

How we work: AI forward

AI is not a side project at Birdseye. It’s a tool our teams use every day, and our developers are expected to be proficient with it. You’ll use AI coding tools as a normal part of your workflow, and you’ll help build AI into the tools our teams rely on. We’re looking for someone who knows how to get real work done with AI, and who can review, test and take ownership of everything it produces.

What you’ll work on

• Internal tools and dashboards that help our teams track performance and make decisions
• Automations that connect the systems we already use, so data moves between them without manual work
• Workflow tools that support our day-to-day operations
• Customer-facing applications
• Maintaining tools already in production: fixing bugs, making improvements, and writing documentation so
• others can use and support them

What we’re looking for

• Currently in the third or fourth year of a Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering
• or related program
• back end language such as Python
• Front end basics: HTML, CSS and a framework like React or Vue
• Back end basics: building and using REST APIs
• Experience integrating third-party APIs, especially Zoho, Slack or Google Workspace
• Hands-on, daily use of AI coding tools such as OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, Cursor or GitHub Copilot
• Ability to review, test and debug AI-generated code, not just accept it
• Projects that use AI or LLM APIs, such as OpenAI or Claude
• Working with databases, both SQL and spreadsheet-style data sources
• Version control with Git
• Writing basic tests for the code you ship
• Ability to take a loosely defined business problem, ask the right questions and turn it into a working tool
• Clear communication with non-technical people, in writing and in person. Most of the people you’ll build for
• are not developers
• Documenting what you build so others can use and support it

Nice to have

• Experience with Replit or a similar cloud development platform
• Experience building dashboards or reporting tools
• A GitHub profile or portfolio with something you built end to end

We care more about what you’ve built and how you think than about checking every box
