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: Git Hub, AWS, React Native, Mongo DB, 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.

Requirements
What are we looking for?

At least 2 years experience of Javascript and Python
Have a demonstrated ability to build software
Prior work and personal projects count for much more than specific degrees
Write code to solve abstract programming problems
Clear thinking, the ability to debug, and understanding the limits of an approach matter much more than getting the “correct” answer
Talk and reason about code with other engineers
We work as a team so you need to be able to not just solve problems, but have other people understand your solutions
Take initiative to make things happen
Our job is to push for change in government, so we need to challenge the status quo and not wait for instruction
Want to work for the public good - We are public servants, we serve the public.
This sometimes means ignoring political pressures and misguided policies.
We need people who will push back if something is not in the public interest
Overall we look for people who have ability, initiative, good communication, and strong values.

Benefits
What do we offer in return?

Fun working environment
Employee Wellness Program
