Software Developer Co-op/Intern

Do you enjoy building software, solving technical problems, and seeing your code become part of a real product?

LCS is looking for a Software Developer Co-op/Intern to join our Development team. You'll work alongside experienced developers to build, enhance, and troubleshoot software used by our customers while gaining hands-on experience with professional development practices and technologies.

Depending on the projects you're assigned to, your work may span different parts of the application stack. You could contribute to back-end development using C#/.NET, front-end development using TypeScript and Angular, database-related work using MySQL, or a combination of these areas. The exact mix will depend on team and project needs.

What You'll Do

• Develop and enhance features for LCS software applications under the guidance of experienced developers.
• Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code.
• Work on application functionality that may include back-end services, user interfaces, databases, or multiple layers of an application.
• Participate in designing, developing, testing, debugging, and implementing software changes.
• Troubleshoot technical issues and help identify practical solutions.
• Work with developers and other teams to build new functionality and improve existing applications.
• Participate in code reviews and other development practices used by the team.
• Learn how software moves from an idea or requirement through development, testing, and release.

• C# and .NET application development
• TypeScript and Angular front-end development
• MySQL and relational databases
• Web and desktop applications
• Debugging, testing, and troubleshooting
• Source control and collaborative development practices
• The software development life cycle
• Working with developers, QA, Product Management, and other teams to deliver software

What We're Looking For

• Currently pursuing a degree or educational program related to computer science, software development, information technology, or a similar field.
• Foundational understanding of object-oriented programming.
• Experience writing software through coursework, personal projects, previous internships, or other hands-on development.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work through technical challenges.
• Willingness to learn new technologies and development practices.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with others.
• Ability to manage assignments and follow through on responsibilities.

Nice to Have

• Experience with C# or .NET.
• Experience with TypeScript, JavaScript, Angular, or another modern front-end framework.
• MySQL or relational database experience.
• Experience developing web or desktop applications.
• Familiarity with the software development life cycle.
• Experience with WPF.
• Experience using source control such as Git.
• Coursework or projects that involved both front-end and back-end development.

Why Join Us?

• Gain hands-on software development experience while working on real applications and features.
• Learn from experienced developers and receive exposure to professional development practices.
• Build experience across multiple technologies and potentially different areas of the application stack.
