Join us this summer to bridge the gap between classroom theory and the future of enterprise-level software engineering. At arrivia , we are looking for proactive self-starters who are not only passionate about code but are eager to explore how AI can revolutionize the development lifecycle. This isn't just a coding job; it’s an opportunity to help us define how AI tools enhance our engineering workflows.

You will report directly to our Manager of Software Engineering and work within a department that values clean code, architectural integrity, and the smart application of emerging technologies.

• Feature Development & Coding: Collaborate with the team to design and code new features for our web applications using Java, C#, or JavaScript frameworks.
