POSITION OVERVIEW
Reporting to the Business Solutions Delivery Team Leader, the Senior Software Developer is an integrated role within the IT Solutions Delivery team. The Specialist is expected to participate in the full development lifecycle, starting with planning and estimating, developing, implementing, and deploying complex services, orchestrations, and integrations as required in a context of continuous integration and deployment. Working smoothly, in a fast-paced environment and in collaborative working mode will be the norm.
The person who joins the team as a Senior Software Developer will be part of a group that has the responsibility to support, improve our public portal (www.bdc.ca). This website is an essential channel for our organization that contains a significant amount of information for our customers and prospects.
The work carried out takes place in a complex environment since our public portal is extremely vast. A solid knowledge in FrontEnd web development (ideally with version 12 of the Episerver CMS) is essential to meet our evolution needs. These needs are as much in terms of accessibility development, as to developing the EPI Server components of the site (such as the menu and forms) so that they meet the new features of CMS 12. BackEnd work in .Net will also be required, depending on our evolution needs. In addition, knowledge of the Banking world is an important asset in understanding the context of our activities.
Experience working in an Agile mode is ideal to integrate well into our ecosystem. The Senior Software Developer must also collaborate and act as a leader with the other developers on the team, as well as with the Analysts and our internal customers.
