Role:

Splunk is looking for students to join our Vancouver-based teams for the summer 2023 co-op term. As a Backend Software Engineer intern, you will work on a real project (or a few) and have an opportunity to enjoy our dynamic, startup-like environment. You will have the opportunity to:

• Design, develop, code and test software systems, or applications for software improvements and new products.
• Contribute through participation in agile development of project timelines, implementation design specifications, system flow diagrams, documentation, testing, and ongoing support of systems.
• Make an impact through your recommended modifications to processes and procedures, and directly contribute to standard methodologies, architecture, and implementation.

Backend roles are available on the following teams:

Data Collection Connectors: The Data Collection Connectors team is a dynamic technology group with a mission to provide Splunk customers with the ability to collect an ever-growing list of machine data sources, and route it to Splunk or other destinations. The team is building state-of-the-art capabilities in real-time messaging, streaming systems and monitoring that will greatly impact how Splunk’s customers collect their vast amounts of machine data easily and route that data reliably to the desired destinations.

Mission Control Onboarding: The Mission Control Onboarding team creates a dynamic and cloud technology platform that enables customers to quickly detect, triage, and respond to incidents from the Mission Control UI. The team aims to provide a unified experience across Splunk Cloud, SOAR, Enterprise Security, and Intelligence Management. To achieve this goal, the team is building an ingestion pipeline, implementing role-based access controls, provisioning, and other features to streamline the incident management process.

• Growth and mentorship. We believe in growing engineers through ownership and leadership opportunities. We also believe mentors help both sides of the equation.
