We're on a mission to redefine AI-driven robotic vision.\nApera AI helps manufacturers make their factories more flexible and productive. Robots enhanced with Apera's software have 4D Vision - the ability to see and grasp objects with human-like capability. Challenging applications such as bin picking, sorting, packaging, and assembly are now open to fast, precise, and reliable automation. We work with the world's leading automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.\nOur portfolio spans Vue (our 4D Vision software), Forge (a no-code simulation and AI training studio where customers build, validate, and de-risk robotic cells before any hardware is bought), and VuePod, our new turnkey, productized bin-picking cell.\nRole Overview: \nWe’re looking for a Software Developer, Cloud Infrastructure (Co-Op) who is excited to learn how modern cloud platforms support AI-driven robotics systems. In this role, you’ll work alongside experienced engineers to help build and improve the cloud services that power our vision-guided robots, gaining hands-on experience with real production systems in a supportive, fast-learning environment. This co-op role requires 8 months term commitment (Jan 2027 - August 2027).\nThis is an opportunity to apply what you’ve learned in school to real-world infrastructure challenges, while developing practical skills in cloud engineering, DevOps, and distributed systems. This role is based in person at our Vancouver office and is an 8-month co-op term.\nWhat You’ll Do \n Build and improve cloud services: Contribute to scalable cloud services running on AWS or GCP. Learn how infrastructure is defined using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and help implement improvements to existing systems. \nWork with data and telemetry: Help develop or maintain systems that ingest, store, and expose telemetry from robotic and vision systems, enabling teams to monitor performance and diagnose issues. \nLearn reliability and observability practices: Support efforts to instrument services with logging and metrics. Learn how teams think about uptime, monitoring, and safe system changes. \nApply secure engineering principles: Work with senior engineers to understand access control, secrets management, and secure-by-design cloud infrastructure. \nCollaborate across teams: Partner with Robotics, Vision, and Software teams to understand how cloud systems support real-world robot deployments. \nWhat You’ll Learn \nHow production cloud infrastructure supports AI and robotics systems \nPractical use of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CDK, or similar) \nObservability, reliability, and secure system design \nHow cross-functional teams ship and operate complex systems \nWhy This Co-Op Is a Great Experience \nReal impact, real systems: Your work will support systems used in real factories and not toy projects or internal demos. \nStrong mentorship: You’ll work closely with experienced engineers who provide guidance, feedback, and learning opportunities. \nExposure to cutting-edge technology: Robotics, AI, computer vision, and cloud infrastructure all intersect here. \nGrowth-focused environment: We value curiosity, learning, and thoughtful problem solving over knowing everything on day one. \nWhat We’re Looking For \nCurrently enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field \nCoursework or project experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or similar) \nProgramming experience in at least one language (e.g., Python, Go, JavaScript/TypeScript) \nFamiliarity with Git and basic software development workflows \nInterest in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps. \nStrong communication skills and willingness to learn \nNice to Have (Not Required) \nExposure to Docker, containers, or Kubernetes \nFamiliarity with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, CDK, CloudFormation) \nExperience with CI/CD tools through coursework or personal projects \nInterest in robotics, AI, or large-scale systems \n Why You’ll Love It Here \nPurpose with impact: Help enable smarter, safer automation in real industries \nLearning by doing: Apply academic knowledge to real production systems \nSupportive culture: Collaborative, curious, and people-first \nGreat location: Gastown office with transit access and a vibrant tech community \nThe compensation for this co-op role is CAD $3,600 to $4,500 per month. This is your opportunity to gain hands-on learning experience in one of the fastest-growing industries at the intersection of robotics, AI, and industrial automation.\nNote: Please ensure you upload both your resume and transcript, either combined into a single file or as separate files.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4896,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-16T22:37:04Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":52,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.689,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":17,"expected_fill_days":21,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-04T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":38208,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/privatixy-software-developer-cloud-infrastructure-co-op","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/privatixy-software-developer-cloud-infrastructure-co-op.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-05T02:53:03Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3971,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":1029,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-06T00:00:00Z"}}}
