This isn’t just another job—it’s your chance to make a real difference.

If you’re excited about tackling complex challenges, growing the next generation of engineers, and working in an environment where your ideas matter, let’s talk.

What will you do?

• Lead by example by writing clean, maintainable, and efficient code for front-end (Angular/React) and back-end (Java, Spring Boot) applications that solve real-world problems.

• Mentor and support emerging talent in the team, fostering a culture of curiosity and excellence.

• Design and implement high-performance applications that meet the highest standards of scalability, reliability, and security.

• Champion modern development practices like CI/CD, cloud-native architecture, and test-driven development.

• Design and develop robust solutions, from architectural decisions to hands-on coding.

• Collaborate with product teams to build customer-centric solutions that push the boundaries of what’s possible in banking.

• Continuously explore new technologies and strategies to keep RBC at the forefront of innovation.

• Excellent communication including the ability to distill technical details into human terms. 

What do you need to succeed?

Must-have

• 8+ years of hands-on experience with Angular, Java, REST APIs/Microservices, and Spring Framework (MVC, Security, JPA, Spring Boot).

• 5+ years of experience working with RDBMS (Oracle, MSSQL, PostgreSQL), NoSQL (MongoDB, ELK), and data streaming technologies (Kafka).

• Experience developing and troubleshooting distributed cloud applications (OpenShift, Kubernetes, Docker).

• Deep understanding of security protocols (JWT, OAuth, SSL Certificates) and interface specifications (Swagger, RAML, SOAP).

• Proficiency in CI/CD pipelines and testing automation tools.

• Strong problem-solving and design skills, with a focus on clean coding practices and scalability.

• Ability to mentor and guide junior developers in technical and best practice areas.

• Solid Understanding of Agile.

• A passion for technology and a love of software development culture

Nice-to-have

• Experience with object-oriented programming and microservice design patterns (e.g., load balancing, resiliency).

• Familiarity with major architectural styles, such as reactive or event-driven systems.

• Knowledge of modern front-end design trends and technologies.

• Strong understanding of Agile methodologies and the ability to contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.
