Software Development Engineer Intern

What You'll Do :

The goal of Criteo’s internship program is to provide valuable real world work experience to the engineers of tomorrow while building a relationship that often leads to future employment. Many of our best engineers were hired after spending a summer with us. With that goal in mind, our internship program is structured so that each intern is assigned to one of our product engineering teams. While working as part of that team, you will work hand in hand with our talented engineers, solving problems and creating new features that will be deployed to tens of millions of users worldwide. At Criteo, you won’t sit in the intern section and work on data entry or QA projects.

A Current Student at The University of Toronto, The University of Waterloo or a surrounding college near the downtown Toronto area (must be available to be onsite to qualify for the program)

Work on real and impactful projects that are used by leading retailers and brands

Gain experience by working on cutting edge and highly scalable systems

Hone your skills as a full stack, data or UX focused engineer.

Work with and learn from talented engineers, with a diverse set of backgrounds

You’ll be placed on one of our technical team based on your interest and skill set.

Pursuing a degree (Bachelors or Masters) in Computer Science or a related field

Must be currently enrolled in a full-time degree program and returning to the program after intern completion

Experience in C++, Java, Python, Scala, or C#

A strong sense of ownership and a dislike for passing the buck

A problem solver, a fixer, and a creative technologist. We believe coding is a talent and a passion, not just a skill.

A strong communicator and a team player who can work efficiently with others
