Co-Development Business Unit is looking for Software Engineer
Internal Code: A24080
What will you do?
- Build prototypes to demonstrate technological opportunities
- Design system architectures
- Write production quality code
- Manage deployments to cloud infrastructure
- Because our team focuses on pushing new initiatives, you will also have to:
- Identify potential projects that improve the public good
- Design novel systems that work around bureaucratic constraints
- Advocate and explain these technical ideas to other government agencies
Additionally, more senior engineers will be expected to:
- Establish best practices for developer operations
- Share your expertise and mentor other engineers
- Help with recruiting
- You’re not just here to write code, but also to figure out what we should be building and how we should build it.
- Your job will be to bring expertise and capability to the public sector. Sometimes this means coding new systems from scratch. Other times this means using the best solutions the development community has to offer. We use cloud services, open source software, and commodity hardware as far as possible. These often include, but are not limited to: GitHub, AWS, React Native, MongoDB, and Stripe amongst others. Knowing what to build and what to reuse: let us avoid wasting time on solved problems and focus on delivering actual value.
- You will work on meaningful projects that solve problems pertinent to our society, from transportation, to education, to healthcare. The public sector is full of opportunities where even the simplest software can have a big impact on people’s lives. You will have direct ownership of your work with over 70% of our projects starting as ground up initiatives. Rather than work on commercial ventures commonly found in the startup scene, we’re here to improve how we live as a society through what we can offer as a government.
- We work mostly in Javascript with some Python on the backend. However, we don’t require experience in any specific programming language or technology. Core competency in at least one language and the ability to learn is what matters to us.
