Title:  Senior Delivery Lead

Requisition ID: 205449

Join a purpose driven winning team, committed to results, in an inclusive and high-performing culture.

Scotiabank is changing the way we think about software development and how we run and maintain a technology portfolio which includes mission critical applications that help differentiate us in a highly competitive environment.

Our modernization efforts are centered around a unified software development and support approach that helps turn business logic and application code into scalable, fault-tolerant production systems. Collaboration, community-based contribution, reuse and standardization are our measures of success.

The Branch Foundations team is looking for individuals who have the technical and strategic experience and understanding to work with our solution architects, engineers and business partners to build the best products possible. If you are excited about having a hand in building a bank of the future with state-of-the-art UI/UX design and a robust set of frameworks to support API enabled applications used by millions of users across the global bank, then join us in making the modernization revolution ubiquitous.

You will own and help drive exciting new initiatives within the Canadian Bank - from building new features, re-platforming old technologies to improving performance, latency, availability and ultimately our customer’s experience with Scotiabank. Along with this, you will interact with numerous dynamic teams across the Bank. All this in an effort to ensure we are building a cohesive, future forward bank that leverages enterprise technology assets and best practices surrounding the use of modern software development, deployment and operations principles.

Able to think about business opportunities, operational issues, and architectural diagrams in the course of a single conversation. Intellectually curious and dedicated to proving that “Hope is not a Strategy”. Someone who makes the team room both productive and fun to work in. Excited to learn from others while bringing your own novel capabilities and perspectives.
