Do you want to be challenged with some of the most stubborn head-scratchers facing software developers right now? Do you want to work with a highly experienced team of data scientists, developers and data analysts? Moz is on the hunt for a highly motivated, eager co-op student to join our Data Services team!

As a combined company we have over 20,000 customers ranging from mom and pop businesses to Fortune 500 corporations.

We are an office optional company. This position can be fully remote from anywhere within Canada. We're also open to having folks be based out of our Vancouver, BC offices.
