About The Position

The Third-Party SaaS Solutions team strategically partners with internal teams and critical third-party application vendors to deliver key client and employee services using SaaS. In the past, many of these application providers were deployed on premises, where RBC controlled much of the deployment, operational, and security implications. RBC ensured they were deployed with the best practice, secure, resilient manner, leveraging industry-leading practices to address RBC's risk standards. However, we are in the midst of a fundamental shift in the industry. These third-party application providers are moving to new as a Service delivery model (e.g., Software as a Service), which poses a new set of opportunities, challenges, and risks to RBC.
As a senior software developer, you will work as a part of an agile team to develop automation. We are looking for diverse backgrounds and experience, with a deep understanding of software development processes, architecture and industry standards.

You must be a strong team player, willing to collaborate and participate in testing, support and maintenance. Your focus will be quality, maintainability, performance, and reliability. We expect you to take personal responsibility for all deliveries and outcomes. As a senior team member, you will be immersed in all team activities, help and support other team members to achieve team goals. You must be proactive self-starter motivated to learn new skills and technologies and enjoy embracing the unknown and contributing to innovative efforts with fresh ideas.
