Potters Bar, United Kingdom Canada Life Limited Full time
Canada Life UK looks after the retirement, investment and protection needs of individuals, families and companies. We help to build better futures for our customers, our intermediaries and our employees by operating as a modern, agile and welcoming organisation.

Part of our parent company Great-West Lifeco, Canada Life UK has operated in the United Kingdom since 1903. We have hundreds of respected and supported employees committed to doing the right thing for our customers and colleagues.

Canada Life UK is transforming to create a more customer-focused business by providing our customers with expertise on financial and tax planning, offering home finance and annuities propositions, and providing collective fund solutions to third party customers.

Are you ready to join a dynamic cross-functional team moving into the future of digital innovation? We are seeking an exceptional Senior Engineer to play a key role in our efforts in transforming the landscape of digital solutions. If you are passionate about Digital products, technology, and driving meaningful outcomes, this is the role for you

CLUK have ambitious plans to modernise their IT (Information Technology) estate, looking to leverage the cloud and automation at every opportunity and change how we fundamentally deliver solutions, transitioning from a Project to Product approach.

You will be working at every stage of a product lifecycle deployment, from conception, design, implementation, testing and through to operational support.

Purpose

As an Engineer you will have a strong background in full lifecycle software development.
  • Designing, building, deploying, and supporting software across front and backend stacks
  • Configuring and maintaining automated CI/CD pipelines and test automation to facilitate a seamless route to production for Azure hosted solutions
  • Developing and supporting environments up to and including production to ensure reliability and quality
You will also have a product mindset: you care about customer outcomes, and you want to make data-informed decisions

Duties/Responsibilities

1) Solution Development
Engage fully in the development lifecycle of applications and tools, contributing hands-on to all development tasks, from coding to reviewing and releasing to production.
Collaborate closely with team members, product owners, and stakeholders.

2) Continuous Learning
Take ownership of personal learning paths, continually acquiring new skills to enhance team solutions and individual performance.

3) DevOps Delivery
Implement and refine DevOps practices, balancing responsibilities between development and operations, while actively reducing technical debt and enhancing automation and reliability of applications.

Skills, Knowledge, and Experience
  • You have developed modern component-oriented front end applications using frameworks and libraries and have a good appreciation of UX (User eXperience).
  • Proficiency in a variety of development technologies, languages, design patterns, and tooling. Our current tech stack is primarily Microsoft / Azure focused; solid C# is necessary.
  • Advocate of key principles such as SOLID and CLEAN code - applying to all areas of development. Keen to write code that is self-explanatory and easy to maintain.
  • We use Azure DevOps and Octopus Deploy for our pipelines but an understanding of the principles behind CICD is more important that the tooling you have used. You will have worked in an environment that deploys regularly to production.
  • You have a sound grasp of modern engineering principles and prefer working in small iterations that optimise feedback. You like to validate hypothesis via experiments.
  • You have an awareness of security principles and best practices to ensure secure software delivery.
  • You are committed to continuous learning, staying abreast of evolving industry technologies and trends. Which are demonstrable and you are keen to share and contribute to our community.
  • You have extensive experience working within an agile environment, waterfall projects are a big red flag to you.
  • You own change all the way to production, and the idea that a different team would test your work, or that it will not rapidly ship to production does not sit well with you.
  • You enjoy working with others and contributing to technical excellence as part of an active community.
