ABOUT APPLY DIGITAL
Apply Digital is a global digital transformation partner for change agents. Leveraging expertise that spans Business Transformation Strategy, Product Design & Development, Commerce, Platform Engineering, Data Intelligence, Change Management, and beyond, we enable our clients to modernize their organizations and deliver meaningful impact to the business and to their customers. Whether they are beginning, accelerating or optimizing, we help enterprise businesses implement composable tech as part of their digital transformation journey. We leverage our rich experience in building smart products and using AI tools to drive value.

Apply Digital was founded in 2016 in Vancouver, Canada. In the past nine years, we have grown to nine cities across North America, South America, the UK, and Europe. We have always had aspirations to build a delivery hub in India, and we are excited to launch a new office in Delhi NCR.
At Apply Digital, we believe in the “One Team” approach, where we operate within a ‘pod’ structure. Each pod brings together senior leadership, subject matter experts, and cross-functional skill sets, all working within a common tech and delivery framework.

- Strong technical understanding and/or previous hands-on experience in software development, web technologies, and cloud-native solutions (e.g., GCP, AWS).
- Proven ability to foster strong partnerships with internal and external stakeholders.
- Prior experience working in Agile environments, with a solid grasp of Agile methodologies and tools.
- Experience collaborating with remote teams across North America and Latin America, managing time zone challenges smoothly.

- Experience delivering scalable platforms and products, ensuring high-quality outcomes.
- Experience presenting project updates, RAID items, and strategic decisions to leadership and clients.
- Proficiency in identifying, assessing, and mitigating project risks proactively, escalating when necessary.
- Demonstrated ability to manage project budgets, resource allocation, and forecasting.
- Strong time management and prioritization skills aligned with team and project needs.
- Proficiency with project management tools like JIRA, Notion, Smartsheets, or similar.
