The Enterprise Systems Research Group of York University, lead by Prof. Sotirios Liaskos, is looking for exciting software engineering experiences for selected graduate students of Computer Science and Information Technology, preferably in the area of Financial Technologies. Our aim is to provide our top-achieving students with real-world experience in professional-grade software development in order to prepare them for software engineering roles in the Canadian industry.

The students are top graduates of reputable international undergraduate technology programs, currently engaging in world-class graduate-level research and development projects within the research group. They offer:

• A solid academic background in all areas of the software development lifecycle, including requirements, design, coding, testing, and documentation, primarily in Java and Python.
• A broad skillset in computing technologies including machine learning and AI, data management, web, mobile and distributed computing, operating systems and cloud computing.
• Strong problem solving and learning skills.
• Work ethic, ambition, and enthusiasm for technology.

Whether you are a start-up, SME, or larger organization engaging in software development, we would love to hear from you.

Steps for Matching:

• Match Request Submission: To kickstart the collaboration process, simply submit a match request outlining your project. We'll then schedule a video call to discuss the project's suitability and ensure alignment with learning objectives.
• Confirmation: Upon mutual agreement, both parties will confirm the match on the Riipen platform.
• Collaboration Starts: Once confirmed, communication will transition to the Riipen platform, providing a centralized hub for all stakeholders – employers, learners, and supervisor.

We're open to discussing alternative formats for deliverables to ensure alignment with both project requirements and learning objectives. Examples include:

• A finished, tested, and documented software product/component.
• A report surveying tools, techniques and/or research and offering recommendations.
• A report on QA activities performed, together with the corresponding assets and records.
