The Opportunity

Program Details

This is a full-time co-op placement for a 4-month term, running from September to December 2026, based in Vancouver, BC. Throughout the program, you’ll have opportunities to participate in intern and co-op events, networking sessions, and professional development activities.

If you’re early in your engineering journey and ready to build software that runs at real-world scale, this is that kind of opportunity. As a co-op student, you’ll gain hands-on industry experience while applying concepts from your coursework to real-world engineering challenges. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers who will mentor and support your growth throughout your placement.

You won’t be observing from the sidelines — you’ll be learning by doing, contributing to infrastructure that runs in production at scale. We have multiple Software Engineering and Quality Engineering co-op opportunities in Vancouver for students seeking a work-integrated learning experience as part of their degree program.

 

About the Team

You will be part of our brand-new Vancouver engineering site, helping shape our Research and Development (R&D) culture as we grow. Teams establishing a footprint include those focused on: 

• Kubernetes-based enterprise platforms 
• Networking and security solutions 
• Distributed systems 
• Quality engineering and automation 
• Emerging AI capabilities 

We partner closely across Software Development, Quality Engineering (QE), Technical Support, and Product. The technical depth is real. The standards are high. The collaboration is constant. 

We value engineers who think critically, communicate clearly, and care about the impact of their work. Let’s build what’s next, together. 

 

Your Role

• Professional skills including technical communication, problem solving, and stakeholder collaboration 

 

What You Will Bring

• Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's degree program in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field and eligible to participate in a co-op or internship program through your university 
• Strong understanding of programming fundamentals, data structures, and algorithms 
• Experience with at least one modern programming language (e.g., Python, Java, C++, Go, JavaScript). 
• Coursework, personal projects, hackathons, research, or other hands-on experience related to software development are considered an asset 
• Familiarity with version control systems such as Git 
• Exposure to software testing concepts or development lifecycle principles is a plus 
• Clear written and verbal communication skills in English 
• Curiosity, ownership mindset, and strong desire to grow 

Whether you've built projects in class, participated in hackathons, contributed to open-source software, or simply love solving technical problems, we'd love to hear from you. At Nutanix, you'll have the opportunity to learn from experienced engineers while making meaningful contributions to products used by customers around the world.
