Platform Engineer Intern

Interac Corp., a leading Canadian financial technology company, is seeking a Platform Engineer Intern to join their backend service development team. This role offers an exciting opportunity to work on real-time rail (RTR) systems, utilizing cutting-edge technology stacks while collaborating with highly skilled developers.

The intern will be responsible for building new features, enhancing existing functionality, and conducting platform migrations. Working directly with the Platform Delivery team, you'll gain hands-on experience with automation using Terraform, code repository migrations, and CI/CD pipeline integrations. The role provides extensive exposure to cloud platforms and version control systems.

This is an excellent opportunity for a student pursuing computer science or software engineering to gain real-world experience in a company that processes over 20 million transactions daily. You'll work in a hybrid environment (3 days on-site) in Toronto, contributing to projects that directly impact Canada's digital economy.

The ideal candidate should have strong foundations in Java (especially Springboot), Angular, and API integrations. While the role primarily focuses on backend development, familiarity with frontend technologies like HTML5 and CSS3 is beneficial. The position requires strong problem-solving abilities, excellent collaboration skills, and a passion for learning new technologies.

Interac offers a supportive learning environment with opportunities to work alongside experienced developers, competitive compensation, and comprehensive benefits. The internship runs from September to December 2025, offering a full-time position with exposure to enterprise-scale financial technology systems.

This role is perfect for students who want to gain practical experience in financial technology while working on systems that millions of Canadians rely on daily. You'll be part of a team that values innovation, continuous learning, and technical excellence, all while contributing to the future of digital transactions in Canada.
