Job description

Your Job

If you're a student who genuinely enjoys figuring out why something broke, is curious about how AI can change the way support works, and wants real responsibility on a fast-paced team - this co-op was designed for you.

Our team supports the applications, data pipelines, and integrations that keep Flint Hills Resources running - and we're actively transforming how that support gets done. AI agents, automation workflows, and smarter monitoring aren't future plans here; they're work in progress, and you'll be part of it.

Based on-site in Wichita, Kansas. Flexible hours (15-30 hrs/week) scheduled around your classes, primarily between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM M-F.
This position is structured as a co-op with the potential to transition into an internship in Summer 2027.

Our Team

• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues related to data systems, data flows, and complex integrations - real issues, not simulated ones
• Investigate root causes of recurring problems, working alongside IT teams, end users, and vendors to find durable solutions
• Monitor alerts and alarms to protect the reliability of critical data and business processes
• Build and maintain documentation that supports both the team and end users
• Actively use the team's AI toolset to analyze problems, automate support processes, and drive identified automation opportunities to completion
• Collaborate with product teams to stay ahead of upcoming changes and contribute to better supportability
• Develop a working understanding of how the technology stack connects to real business outcomes

What You Will Do

• Currently pursuing a degree or technical certificate in Information Technology, Computer Science, MIS, or a related field
• You're curious - you don't just fix things, you want to understand why they broke
• Foundational SQL knowledge: able to write or read basic queries
• Strong communicator who can explain technical issues clearly to non-technical stakeholders
• Genuinely interested in AI tools and what they can do - not just aware they exist

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

• Currently pursuing a degree or technical certificate in Information Technology, Computer Science, MIS, or a related field
• You're curious - you don't just fix things, you want to understand why they broke
• Foundational SQL knowledge: able to write or read basic queries
• Strong communicator who can explain technical issues clearly to non-technical stakeholders
• Genuinely interested in AI tools and what they can do - not just aware they exist

What Will Put You Ahead

• Previous experience in IT support, troubleshooting, or customer service
• Familiarity with programming languages such as Python, TypeScript, or .NET
• Exposure to event-driven or API-based integrations
• Curiosity about AWS services (Lambda, S3, CloudWatch)
• Interest in graph databases, particularly Neo4j
• You've already experimented with AI tools on your own - for schoolwork, side projects, or just to see what they can do
