We're envisioning and building the future of payments within RBC. Our clients rely on us to move money efficiently and securely, via seamless, intelligent solutions. Our people design, develop and support the technology that enables this.

As a Lead Software Engineer, you will have the opportunity to make your mark on the future direction of our team. You will own the development lifecycle of critical back-end services, balancing hands-on technical contributions with team leadership. You will be encouraged to bring a product mindset, challenge the status quo, and embrace innovation through experimentation.

Join our team today and help shape the future of global payments technology at RBC.

What will you do?

  • Make hands-on code contributions to back-end applications within an Agile development team.

  • Lead a team of 3-5 developers. Provide expert technical leadership and support the team in simplifying complex technical challenges.

  • Encourage cross-functional collaboration and contribute to a high-performing team culture.

  • Facilitate growth and continuous improvement through leading by example, mentorship and timely feedback.

  • Experiment with emerging technologies and proof of concepts to help shape technical direction.

What do you need to succeed?

Must Have:

  • Strong, hands-on experience with building modern Java cloud applications (12 factor applications).

  • Practical experience shipping various types of back-end applications (API, messaging, persistence, etc.) to production leveraging cloud native platforms (OpenShift, Kubernetes, Docker, etc.)

  • Proficiency with leading a team through the full development lifecycle, from design to code to production.

  • Familiarity with various Agile delivery methodologies and SDLC optimization.

  • Deep understanding of microservices architecture.

  • 3-5+ years of industry experience in senior or lead-level development roles.

Nice-to-Have:

  • Experience with applying emerging AI tools and techniques to generate production code.

  • Experience with system monitoring, introspection and observability (Splunk, Dynatrace, ELK, etc.)

  • Experience with event-driven architecture (Kafka, MQ).

  • Experience with microservices and distributed systems design (load balancing, discovery, resiliency, backpressure, performance tradeoffs).

  • Knowledge of the banking or financial services domain, especially money movement.

What’s in it for you? 

We thrive on the challenge to be our best, progressive thinking to keep growing, and working together to deliver trusted advice to help our clients thrive and communities prosper. We care about each other, reaching our potential, making a difference to our communities, and achieving success that is mutual.

  • A comprehensive Total Rewards Program including bonuses and flexible benefits, competitive compensation, commissions, and stock where applicable

  • Leaders who support your development through coaching and managing opportunities

  • Ability to make a difference and lasting impact
