Being a traditional bank just isn’t our thing. We are big believers in innovating the banking experience because we believe Canadians deserve better options, and we challenge ourselves and our teams to creatively transform what’s possible in banking. Our team is made up of inquisitive and agile minds that find smarter ways of doing things. If you’re not afraid of taking on big challenges and redefining the future, you belong with us. You’ll get to work with people who will encourage you to reach new heights. We like to keep things fun, ask questions and learn together.

 

We are a big (and growing!) family. Overall we serve more than 670,000 people across Canada through Equitable Bank, Canada's Challenger Bank™, and have been around for more than 50 years. Equitable Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Concentra Bank, supports credit unions across Canada that serve more than six million members. Together we have over $125 billion in combined assets under management and administration, with a clear mandate to drive change in Canadian banking to enrich people's lives. Our customers have named our EQ Bank digital platform (eqbank.ca) one of the top banks in Canada on the Forbes World's Best Banks list since 2021. 

Equitable has transformed to a hybrid-agile delivery methodology with cross-functional Pods dedicated to launching new products, features, and ongoing business value for portfolios. The Senior Software Engineer at Equitable Bank plays a pivotal role in our cutting-edge digital initiatives. Key responsibilities involve crafting, building, and supporting RESTful/SOAP APIs and ETL solutions tailored for our dynamic web and mobile online channels. In addition to technical prowess, the incumbent will share their expertise through guiding and mentoring fellow software developers.

Within the Agile Product Pods, each holds the responsibility of delivering value by optimizing performance against the product metrics within its domain. These Pods immerse themselves in understanding user needs, consistently prioritizing tasks to address the most valuable aspects promptly. Clear accountability metrics ensure that these decisions align seamlessly with overarching business priorities.

Rather than imposing a rigid product roadmap from the top-down, our leadership team establishes business goals and identifies areas of opportunity and key strategic initiatives. Subsequently, every Pod must strike a balance between developing new features and iteratively enhancing existing products on its quarterly roadmap. The ability to adapt, driven by insights gained sprint-by-sprint, is paramount. This necessitates a continuous responsiveness to market shifts, evolving user requirements, technological advancements, business imperatives, emerging opportunities, and customer feedback.
