Job Description

What if you could use your technology skills to work on products that make an impact when it comes to delivering unforgettable client experiences? We’ve moved away from digitizing simple banking capabilities, to end-to-end transformation of our customers journeys. Our secret sauce is in how we collaborate to drive impact with a blend of our business and technology teams working seamlessly as one to bring innovations to market. We’re a team of resilient, collaborative people with a hunger for learning and delivering top-notch client experiences and we have our sights set on building the tech stack of the future with modern, flexible architecture by building once, and reusing across channels – how’s that for efficiency?

Between daily deployments and working on really cool stuff, we eat, sleep, and breathe agile - Build. Test. Learn. It’s our way of life, and we believe technical excellence and thoughtful design enhance this way of working. We are keenly motivated to step up to the plate and take ownership of our work: we do it with pride. We care deeply about the outcomes, but how we get there matters too. That’s why we’re looking for talented individuals to join us on our journey to revolutionizing the digital financial industry.

What will you do?

Create new services and customer-facing applications using the latest technologies which will shape the future of banking for RBC
Write highly scalable, high performance, maintainable and reusable services
Seek out knowledge about new technologies and how they can be used to solve current and foreseeable challenges
Work within an agile product team comprised of technical, product and business team members, collaborating with everyone to deliver exceptional products.
Be responsible for your team health and work culture. Provide support and coaching for members of your team.
Champion a diverse and inclusive team culture

What do you need to succeed ?

Must have:

B.S. degree in Computer Science or related technical field (e.g. EE, physics or mathematics), or equivalent practical experience.
2+ years of experience writing code in a backend development language (Java/NodeJS).
2+ year of experience developing distributed cloud applications (OpenShift, Docker, Azure)
Experience working with RESTful APIs and interface specifications (Swagger/OpenAPI).
Experience working within coding standards, code reviews and source code management.
Experience supporting production-level software and using monitoring tools (Splunk, Dynatrace).
Working knowledge of software design best practices, including design patterns.

Nice-to-have:

Experience working in a continuous integration/delivery setting (DevOps) - we go to production every day.
Experience writing automated testing (unit, functional, performance).
Excellent communication, including the ability to simplify technical details into human terms, and interact with non-technical parties such as product owners and business analysts.

What’s in it for you?

We thrive on the challenge to be our best, progressive thinking to keep growing, and working together to deliver trusted advice to help our clients thrive and communities prosper. We care about each other, reaching our potential, making a difference to our communities, and achieving success that is mutual.

A comprehensive Total Rewards Program including bonuses and flexible benefits, competitive compensation, commissions, and stock where applicable
