What you will be doing:
We’re looking for results-oriented, self-motivated, and curious software engineers who not only enjoy their craft and are passionate about building products at scale, but also want to see their work help small businesses be successful. At Alignable, you won’t just be building features—you’ll be shaping the tools and experiences that directly impact a vast community of entrepreneurs. With over 9 million small businesses relying on our platform, the work you do here will have significant visibility and influence, making a tangible difference in the success of countless small businesses.
At Alignable, our Engineering department is organized into dynamic Feature Teams, where Product Managers, UX Designers, and Engineers come together to own and shape entire product areas. These cross-functional teams aren’t just about collaboration; they’re about empowerment. You’ll be involved in every stage of the product lifecycle, from brainstorming innovative ideas to deploying features that make a real impact. As a Co-op Software Engineer, you’ll dive deep into crafting exceptional user experiences, working side by side with your team to bring creative solutions to life. This is your chance to make a tangible difference in the lives of small business owners everywhere.
We’re not just looking for someone who can code; we’re looking for a team player who enjoys engaging in design discussions, advocating for data-driven decisions, and bringing fresh ideas to the table. At Alignable, you won’t be coding in isolation—you’ll be actively contributing to our dynamic, collaborative environment.
About our tech stack:
- Frontend: Typescript/React/Jest
- Backend: Ruby/Rails/RSpec, Elixir/Phoenix/ExUnit
- Databases: Postgres, Redis, DynamoDB, OpenSearch
- Deployment: CI/CD w/ Github, AWS
- Analytics: Kinesis, Lambda, Python, Pandas, Snowflake
What your first day at Alignable will look like:
- On your first day, you’re going to get to meet your manager, a few other members of our leadership team, and your engineering team. You’ll be assigned an awesome engineering buddy who’s going to show you the ropes and be the first to peer review your code. You’ll get your MacBook Pro set up and then you’ll start your learning journey with a 3 week long boot camp.
- On the very first day of the bootcamp, you’ll get to know the release process with your first JIRA ticket - a production bug chosen specifically to help familiarize you with the codebase. You’ll talk over potential solutions with your buddy, pick one, and start cranking. After several minutes / hours, you’ll have a solution. Your solution includes a unit test that replicates the bug. You push your branch to Github and create a pull request. Within a few minutes, our continuous integration software runs the test suite against your code and one of your insanely awesome fellow engineers will code review your solution. Once your code is reviewed with no outstanding issues and all tests pass, you can merge to master and push your code to production. You’ll progress through bootcamp with tickets that will familiarize you with each part of the tech stack - from React to backend, data and analytics.
- Once you graduate from our boot camp, you’ll join one of our 5 product engineering teams working on progressively larger features with more responsibility. Several months into your co-op, the features you’ll be designing and implementing will make you indistinguishable from a full-time junior engineer. By the end of your co-op, you will be prepared and confident working in any environment as a full stack software engineer. You’ll miss the team when you go back to school, but you’ve built lifelong friends, and can’t wait to rave about how awesome your projects and team were and how you spent your time helping Small Businesses thrive.
What you will bring:
- You are currently enrolled as a student at a US-recognized college or university and live in the U.S. and are set to graduate in either Spring 2026 or Winter 2026.
- You are currently enrolled in a recognized co-op program through a US-recognized college or university.
- You have experience with or a willingness to learn Ruby/Javascript.
- You want to be treated like a regular team member, not as an intern.
- You like the constructive feedback provided by code reviews.
- You enjoy the security provided by a comprehensive test suite.
- You appreciate the delicate balance between writing “good” code and shipping.
- You understand the performance implications of different algorithms and data-structures.
- You grok Git and can explain: “Git gets easier once you understand branches are homeomorphic endofunctors mapping submanifolds of a Hilbert space”
