Job Description

What is the opportunity?

Are you a hands-on technical leader who loves solving tough problems, mentoring rising stars, and building cutting-edge software? RBC is looking for a Tech Lead to help shape the future of our digital platform by creating impactful solutions using Java, Spring, and Angular.

This isn’t just another job—it’s your chance to make a real difference. You’ll spend at least 60% of your time coding, designing, and engineering solutions that power critical systems, while also inspiring a team of talented developers to do their best work. Your contributions will go beyond code—your leadership will elevate the entire team.

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.

What’s in it for you?

At RBC, innovation and impact go hand in hand. Here’s what you can expect in this role:

  • Meaningful projects: Build solutions that directly shape the future of digital banking

  • Hands-on growth: Continue developing your skills while mentoring others and contributing to cutting-edge projects.

  • Collaborative culture: Work in a supportive environment that values shared success, creativity, and innovation.

  • Flexibility: Balance work and life with options for flexible schedules and casual dress.

  • Recognition: Competitive compensation, bonuses, and benefits that reward your contributions.

I've been using this job search site for a while now, and it’s honestly one of the best out there! The clean and easy-to-navigate UI makes the whole job-hunting process so much smoother. Plus, the job postings are always up-to-date, so I never feel like I’m wasting time. The cherry on top is the owner—super kind and always quick to respond.

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Best wishes with EchoJobs—it's become my favorite job board overnight!

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
