Why Tyler Public Safety

Our teams build technology that first responders rely on every day. You’ll gain experience not just writing code, but understanding how software operates in complex, real-world environments with high stakes and real impact. If you’re reading this thinking, “I don’t meet all of this,” apply anyway.

• Learn how production software is planned, built, tested, and deployed in a real-world environment
• Collaborate with product managers to understand user needs, tradeoffs, and system constraints

Qualifications

• Currently pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field
• Strong understanding of computer science fundamentals (e.g. data structures, algorithms, object-oriented design)
• Experience with at least one programming language through coursework, projects, or internships
• Familiarity with databases or data modeling concepts
• Strong problem-solving skills and curiosity to learn new technologies
• Ability to work effectively in a team and communicate technical ideas clearly

Preferred Qualifications (Not Required)

• Experience with web or backend development
