Project Overview

• The Government of Alberta (GoA) has embarked on transforming the work of government to deliver simpler, more efficient, and better services for the citizens of Alberta, thereby ensuring that the needs of Albertans are effectively met in the digital age. The GoA has a strategic role within government to drive efficiencies, innovation and modernization. The Digital Design and Delivery Division (DDD) is the Province’s new centre for digital delivery. It was established to maximize capability and confidence in modern digital practice by ensuring service quality and value through standards and controls. This includes utilizing human-centred design approaches together with Agile methodology and modern data practices.
• DDD is currently working with Ministries across the GoA establishing working relationships with Ministries throughout this engagement. DDD’s Platforms branch manages large-scale enterprise projects to build and maintain high-impact platforms, products and services related to identity and access management, payment distributions, and e-commerce.
• DDD’s Platforms branch is looking for up to two (2) experienced and motivated Senior Back-End Developers (Developers) to lead and manage the back-end implementation of large-scale enterprise platforms, products and services. If you’re passionate about delivering enterprise solutions that ensure government services are secure, cost-effective, and easy to access, this could be the perfect opportunity for you. The Developer(s) will be working with modern, user-centered Agile processes within a high-performing team culture to make a meaningful impact.
• The Developer(s) plays a key role in leading technology research and discovery, with a strong focus on security, user experience, performance, and maintainability. They are responsible for the back-end architecture and design, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, including Designers, Developers, Digital and Data Architects, and Product Owners. They translate functional requirements and user needs into technical solutions while ensuring alignment with user-centered design principles.
• The Developer(s) is responsible for applying security best practices, ensuring solutions meet regulatory and compliance standards. They lead in code reviews, guaranteeing high code quality. The Developer(s) collaborates with DevOps teams to integrate code into continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, ensuring seamless and rapid deployments with minimal disruption to users and business operations. The Developer(s) proactively monitors and resolves performance and security issues, continuously upgrading technologies to reduce technical debt and address potential vulnerabilities. The Developer(s) is responsible for maintaining back-end development processes, artifacts, and documentation.
• To succeed, a solid background in back-end development is required. A strong technical understanding of current and emerging technologies, coupled with excellent communication, critical thinking, and collaboration skills is essential. The ability to balance business acumen with project leadership expertise will be crucial to successfully navigate and deliver in this dynamic environment.
