Summer Technology Intern (Hybrid)

WHO WE ARE
When it comes to health, we’re always looking for ways
to push for better. It’s why we were founded in the first place. In 1957, our
founder, pharmacist William Wilkinson, witnessed a mother sacrifice her health
by forgoing her own medicine to pay for her sick daughter’s prescription. He
knew there had to be a better way. So, he introduced North America’s first
prepaid drug plan, and GreenShield was born as a not-for-profit with a mission
to support better health for all Canadians.

We aren’t just a health and benefits company. We’re
the only not-for-profit social enterprise that brings worlds of coverage and
care together, all in one place.
We’re noble challengers, purposefully building a better
way and we need the best people to help us create a more holistic approach that
takes care of the mind and body.

Our mission is to create better health for all
Canadians, and we know that starts with our employees. 

THE
ROLE IN A NUTSHELL

Base Salary: $22.50/hr

We are looking for Technology Interns to join our teams and contribute to technology and platforms that support our employees, partners, and clients. Whether your interests are in infrastructure, business technology, or workplace technology, you will work on real problems that have meaningful impact. From your first week, you will be embedded on a team and treated as a contributor, not an observer. 

As a Summer Intern on our Enterprise Technology & Cloud Platforms team, you will work on real, production-impacting initiatives that power the technology foundation of a national organization. From cloud platforms and infrastructure to automation, reliability, and developer enablement, our work directly enables teams across the enterprise to move faster, safer, and at scale.  
We value ownership, curiosity, and sound judgment. The strongest interns here take initiative, ask thoughtful questions, and seek feedback early. They are comfortable navigating ambiguity, thinking critically about trade-offs, and holding a high bar for quality in code, data, and documentation. We also care deeply about collaboration. Clear communication, humility, and a willingness to learn quickly are essential. 

Key Responsibilities

• Own a real project scoped specifically for the internship, with clear goals, milestones, and outcomes. 
• Contribute to the design, build, and delivery of production-quality solutions across cloud platforms, infrastructure, automation, security, or enterprise systems. 
• Work closely with experienced engineers, architects, and platform leaders who will provide hands-on mentorship and guidance. 
• Apply strong technical fundamentals: writing clean, maintainable code or configurations, validating outcomes, and documenting your work clearly. 
• Collaborate with cross-functional partners (engineering, product, security, operations) to refine requirements and incorporate feedback. 
• Present your work and learnings at the end of the internship to your team and leadership. 

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• Are currently enrolled in a Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or related program.  
• Have foundational experience or coursework in areas such as software development, cloud technologies, infrastructure, or systems engineering.  
• Enjoy solving problems, asking thoughtful questions, and learning quickly.  
• Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and taking ownership of your work.  
• Communicate clearly and collaborate well with others. 

THE CULTURE
We believe a career should be meaningful. Not just a
means to earn a living. Our culture is one where everyone’s voice is heard and
valued. Because that’s what it takes
to create better health for all. We dare to challenge the status quo. And we’re
driven by people who have challenged theirs.  We believe that your
workplace should empower you to be the best version of yourself. That’s why we provide a
place where you can be inspired, challenged, and rewarded. 

Where your growth means our growth.
Where your voice is heard and valued.
Where your work has purpose. And purpose matters.

We believe our people are
critical to our overall success. Inclusivity makes us a stronger, smarter and
more informed organization. Being intentionally inclusive of diverse
backgrounds, perspectives and experiences will enhance our company culture to
positively impact how we support our communities. A career at GreenShield isn’t just about personal
achievements, it’s about making a
difference together.

Here’s to Better Health for All!
