Splunk Co-Op Roles

posted by Chun Kei Li on Sept. 18, 2020, 6:36 p.m.

Dear CSSS Members,

I hope the beginning of the fall semester has been kind to you.  Splunk has asked me to share some of their Co-op roles for the Winter 2021 season.

According to their website, "Splunk is the world’s first Data-to-Everything Platform designed to remove the barriers between data and action, so that everyone thrives in the Data Age. We’re empowering IT, DevOps and security teams to transform their organizations with data from any source and on any timescale.

With more than 6,000 employees in 27 offices worldwide, we’re building a future where data provides clarity, elevates discussion and accelerates progress for innovators in IT, security, DevOps and more."


And without further ado, here are the roles:

 


Be aware that these are Co-op jobs, so any student applying for and being offered these jobs will need to register into a co-op work term and play co-op tuition.


Best Regards,

CS Student Software

posted by Chun Kei Li on Sept. 14, 2020, 5:42 p.m.

Hello Members, As the Fall semester begins, the period of free student software continues. This software is available through SFU as well as Github. Let me give you a quick rundown of the softwares and websites available to you that I find most useful.

CMPT Course Offerings (https://coursys.sfu.ca/browse/pages/cmpt) - A list of CMPT courses available, as well as archived emails sent out by the professor for each course. SFU Vault (https://vault.sfu.ca/) - google drive but SFU. 50GB quota. SFU Library Criterion on Demand (https://databases.lib.sfu.ca/record/61245132430003610/Criterion-on-Demand) - Netflix but SFU and free. They have a surprisingly good selection. SFU Free software (https://www.sfu.ca/itservices/technical/software.html) - Free software for all SFU students. CMPT software (http://www.sfu.ca/computing/about/support/csil/windows/how-to-get-software.html) - Free software for SFU comp sci students Github education (https://education.github.com/pack) - get verified and get some really useful project software
There are many more free for student software out there, but these are the ones that I find most helpful.  Please email me at ckl47@sfu.ca if you have any other resources that you find useful, and I’ll make sure to amend it to the list in the next helpful software list.
