About Prime Freight

Prime Freight is a Montreal freight forwarder that has moved ocean, air and road shipments for more than 30 years. We also build our own software. Our in-house platform runs quoting, bookings and shipment tracking for the whole business, and our six-person development team keeps adding to it.

Right now we are moving large parts of that platform off a low-code system and into our own services, and automating how we quote and sell ocean and air freight. That's the work you'd be part of.

How we build

We write a lot of our code with AI tools like Claude (including Claude Code) and GitHub Copilot. You'll use them every day, and you'll learn how to guide them well and check what they produce before it ships.

Timing

Start in October 2026, or January 2027 if you're looking for a winter term. Runs through April 2027.

What you'll work on
Build and maintain backend services and APIs in Node.js (JavaScript, moving toward TypeScript)
Write GraphQL queries and integrations against our platform data: shipments, bookings, rates and invoices
Help migrate features from our low-code platform (Betty Blocks) into code we own
Automate steps our operations and sales teams still do by hand
Ship through our real process: branch, pull request,



code review (human and AI), SonarCloud checks, deploy preview
Write tests and fix bugs, including the boring ones

What we're looking for
Currently enrolled in computer science, software engineering or a related program
Comfortable with JavaScript, with some Node.js or Express experience
Something you built, in class or on your own, that you can show us
You like finding out why something broke, not just making the error go away
You communicate clearly and ask questions early

Nice to have
Experience coding with AI tools like Claude, Claude Code, Copilot or Cursor
TypeScript, React, GraphQL or SQL
Any exposure to Google Cloud, Docker or CI tools
Interest in logistics or how goods move around the world (not required, we'll teach you)

What you get
Real work that goes to production and gets used by our team every day
Mentorship from our senior developers, with regular code reviews
$20 per hour
Versatile schedule built around your class schedule, about 10 hours a week
An office steps from the Île-des-Sœurs REM station, one stop from Central Station
Strong interns can be offered a full time role after graduation
