Associate Software Engineer; Winter

About Us:

AltaML is a leading North American applied AI company with extensive experience in building and operationalizing AI software solutions. We are a company like no other – we believe in making small bets, failing fast, and being better together. We are looking for creative problem-solvers who obsess about the customer to find wins across different industries. We don’t hire for fit;

we hire to add. We are looking for people who play our core values of being:
Agile, Gritty Humble, and Happy. If you’re passionate about AI/ML, thrive in a dynamic environment, and want to work with a diverse team of wickedly smart people, we want to hear from you!

Please note:

This is a 4 or 8-month opportunity for current students looking for work experience starting in January 2027. As an Associate Software Engineer you’ll play a hands-on role in building and scaling our agentic platform — an intelligent, adaptive system designed to automate workflows and power smarter decision-making. You’ll collaborate with engineers, product managers, and designers to develop clean, efficient code that drives both reliability and innovation.

Your work will span frontend and backend development, from fixing bugs and resolving integration challenges to developing new features and improving platform performance. You’ll also have the opportunity to work directly with AI and agentic solutions, leveraging these tools to optimize development, accelerate delivery, and shape how intelligent systems interact with one another. This role is ideal for someone who’s passionate about modern software engineering, eager to deepen their technical foundation, and excited to contribute to a platform at the frontier of AI and automation.
