Internship

An internship at Arcurve is definitely not a typical coffee-fetching, photocopying experience. We are driven to help produce superior graduates. No spectators here – Arcurve interns are actively engaged in innovative, exciting, real-life business projects. Our interns develop broad technology expertise, solid business acumen, and professional polish in a fun, friendly environment.  

The Work

We give our Interns real world software projects to work on, with a team of software professionals to work with and learn from.  Past projects have included:

  • Website development (ASP.Net) for a local service organization
  • Development in C# for a facility management tool for an International Oil and Gas Company
  • Design and Development of time tracking system using ASP.Net and SQL Server
  • Providing Co-Source Support and Maintenance on several applications in Delphi and .Net
  • Analysis and Documentation for a suite of Oil and Gas Software applications

With a client roster that is local, national and international in nature, you may even find yourself exploring a new country in between work and meetings!

The Team

At Arcurve, we deploy skilled teams of software professionals to deliver quality software solutions.  You will work alongside individuals in project based teams, in a peer environment.  Along with a formal Internship Supervisor to help complete those required reports - the team is yours to work with and learn from.

The Extra Stuff

In the Community:  As a local company that has deep roots in Calgary, we like to take the opportunity to give back to the community as a group.  Our interns not only part of these initiatives, but as our corporate giving is driven by our team, they often have the ability to lead initiatives and support groups that are important to them:

The Office

Arcurve is excited to house our team of software professionals in the heart of downtown Calgary on historic Stephen's Avenue Mall.  During the summer months enjoy live performances, buskers, music, festivals and artists.  When the weather is not so fine, there are 9 major shopping centres along the route in addition to some of cities' finest restaurants, pubs, cafe's and bars. 

Our environment is very open, both from the physical workstations to the day to day management of projects and people.  We all sit in a common area where we can share ideas, ask questions and keep work moving along.  For those that sometimes need a bit more quiet, we find headphones do the trick!

Meet Lisa:  "One of the best things about my internship at Arcurve was the variety of the projects that I was able to work on, the client interactions and that I got to actually develop.  Another great part was the environment.  The people are fun and interesting to talk to both at and outside of work.  During my time, I also got to travel to the UK to work on a project!"
