You will contribute to the transformation of critical applications supporting student records, graduation systems, and education data exchange platforms. Working in a fully remote, agile environment, you will collaborate closely with government stakeholders and technical teams to design, develop, and test scalable solutions. The position combines hands-on development with solution design, technical leadership, and quality assurance responsibilities. You will play a key role in ensuring the successful migration from legacy OpenVMS systems to a modern OpenShift-based ecosystem. This is a high-impact opportunity for a developer who enjoys working on complex systems with real-world public sector impact.

  • Lead unit, integration, and system testing to ensure high-quality deliverables and compliance with user and policy requirements.
  • Ensure proper documentation of technical work, including system procedures, development artifacts, and technical reference materials.
  • Support data conversion planning, backup procedures, and system security considerations throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Participate in proof-of-concept initiatives to evaluate emerging technologies and reduce technical risk in solution design.
  • Monitor development progress and certify deliverables prior to business handover.
  • Collaborate in agile ceremonies including scrums, sprint planning, and stakeholder meetings with ministry teams.

    • Requirements

    • 5+ years of experience in application development, system design, or software engineering roles.
    • Minimum 2 years of experience working within the BC Government or similar public sector IT environment.
    • Strong experience working in agile environments using Jira and Confluence.
    • Proficiency in Java/J2EE and related frameworks such as Spring and Hibernate/PrimeFaces.
    • Experience with web technologies including JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, and modern frameworks.
    • Knowledge of authentication and security protocols such as SAML, OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and SiteMinder.
    • Experience working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL and Oracle.
    • Familiarity with Git version control and modern software development practices.
    • Strong ability to translate technical specifications into clean, maintainable code.
    • Excellent documentation, communication, and collaboration skills in cross-functional teams.
    • Experience working in enterprise-scale or government modernization programs is an asset.

      • Benefits

      • Fully remote role based in British Columbia, Canada.
      • Long-term contract supporting a high-impact public sector modernization initiative.
      • Exposure to large-scale government transformation and cloud migration projects.
