Blue Pearl Tech is the engineering team of the Blue Pearl group (bluepearl.ca) . The group runs operating businesses, starting with a mortgage brokerage, and we build the software those businesses run on. We work on site with the people who use what we build , and most of what we ship goes into production within the first week of a project.

The team is small. You will work directly with Edward Tran , who leads engineering and client work.

We are hiring two BCIT co-op students for the January 2027 term.

The role

A forward deploy engineer sits with the client , learns how their business actually runs, finds the problem that is costing them time or money, and builds the fix . You will do that alongside our lead, not on your own.

You will use AI coding agents (Claude Code and Codex) as a normal part of the job. We expect you to direct them, review their output and be responsible for what ships . Our engineers routinely run several agents in parallel on one task. We pay for frontier models so you spend your time on the problem, not waiting.

What you will do

- Spend time in the client's office. Watch how work gets done, ask questions, and write down what is slow or broken.
- Build the fix. Most of our work is TypeScript, Next.js and Postgres on Supabase. The problem decides the tool.
- Test on real data with a real user waiting to try it.
- Ship small pieces often. When something breaks, say so, then fix it.




- Use the internal tools our team built , including a daily brief that an AI writes from our commits, tickets and meetings. When it gets something wrong, you help fix it.

What we look for

- Something you built and finished. A side project, a deployed site, a repo with real commits. We weight this more than grades and we do not screen on GPA.
- Experience using AI tools to write code , or a clear interest in learning to use them well. Either is fine. We can tell the difference between the two and we are happy with both.
- Comfort talking to non-technical people. You can sit with someone, listen to a messy description of a problem, and come back with a useful question.
- Depth in something. Anything you have gone deep on, technical or not. It tells us you know what getting good at something takes.

This is not a valuable fit if you want a fully specified ticket before you start, or if you want to write code for four months without meeting a user.
