About Bree
Bree is a consumer finance platform that brings better, faster, and cheaper financial services to over half the Canadian population who live paycheck to paycheck. We operate in a huge, but overlooked market in a country with the least amount of financial technology innovation in the developed world. Our first act is to become the cheapest and best provider of short-term credit to the 20 million people in Canada who live paycheck to paycheck.
More than 800,000 Canadians have already signed up with Bree and we believe we are just scratching the surface. We are in an exciting place where we have product market fit, explosive growth, and a clear path to becoming one of the most important FinTechs in Canada.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Backend Engineering Co-op to join us for an 8-month term. You’ll work closely with experienced engineers on scoped backend projects across our services, data integrations, and payment flows. You’ll learn how to turn a technical problem into a well-tested, production-ready change, using AI development tools thoughtfully along the way.
This is an 8-month co-op term. (January - August 2027)
At Bree, co-ops are full members of the Engineering team. You’ll work on the same customer and business problems as full-time engineers, ship real production work, and take part in design discussions, code reviews, testing, and releases. We pair that responsibility with close mentorship, clear context, and projects scoped for you to make a meaningful impact from day one.
What You'll Do
- Build and improve backend services, APIs, and integrations with mentorship from experienced engineers.
- Contribute production changes in our TypeScript and Node.js services, including AWS Lambda-based workflows.
- Write and improve automated tests, then help investigate and resolve issues that appear in staging or production.
