Manulife: We're not just an insurance company. We actually have 1200+ technology specialists dedicated to improving the health and wealth of Canadians while doing it in modern, tech-focused ways. We take technology seriously: last year Manulife spent $1.4 billion on technology as part of transforming into the digital leader in the industry. We are all in with Agile development, DevOps, Open Source, mobile apps, and modern tools and processes. Want to be a part of our transformation?

Unlike making minor changes or updates like at some of the larger tech companies, at Manulife you will make a real difference by working on some impactful and meaningful projects.

Here's the deal on being an intern at Manulife.

You might be surprised to know that Interns love Manulife. Why? We’ve got what you’re looking for:

Jobs that embed you in passionate, productive teams.

Jobs with lots of opportunities for growth during your co-op term and opportunities for fulltime employment after graduation.

Jobs that leave you with great stories to tell at your next set of interviews.

Jobs that make your Co-op term a fun and profitable break from school.

Every term we hire 100+ students – so you’ll have plenty of new friends to chill with. And you can meet your new friends at Intern events like Hackathons, Innovation Challenges, and other fun social events – and yes food and treats are often involved!

Here's the deal on this role.

• We are looking for Software Engineers who are interested in working in one or more of Front End, Back End, and Full Stack roles.
• Regardless of what level role you’re looking for (we have roles that range from Junior all the way to Senior) you’re someone who looks for gaps and figures out the best way to fill them.

• You question everything. Not in an annoying way of course, but in a way that gets to the root of an issue, so you can go do something about it.
• You’re an all-round super star: a passionate, team player with a zeal for designing, developing and improving cool software products.
• You are always learning by using new tools and technologies.
• You know that part of innovation is failure. And when you fail, you always fail forward and fast… learning something new and becoming even better than you were before.
• You will have the opportunity to innovate and figure things out creatively with your team. You’ll analyze a problem, find the best solution, and implement it. Then you iterate and do again.
