You will work closely with Product Owners, Business Analysts, Architecture, and delivery partners to translate product needs into practical technical solutions, while helping the team deliver secure, stable, and maintainable services through the DISP Orchestration API / Backend-for-Frontend layer.\nYou will act as a hands-on technical lead for product development initiatives, balancing delivery leadership with engineering depth. This role will provide technical mentorship to developers, guide design and implementation decisions, support predictable delivery, and help establish scalable engineering practices that improve speed, resilience, security, observability, and long-term maintainability. We value thoughtful innovation, secure engineering, shared ownership, and continuous learning.\nWhat you will do:\nDevelopment and Maintenance\nLead the design, delivery, and continuous improvement of API and integration solutions while mentoring and developing team members.\nBuild and evolve RESTful APIs and integration services using .NET Core, Azure cloud functions or serverless services, or equivalent AWS or GCP capabilities.\nLead complex integrations between modern digital platforms and legacy systems (e.g., Telus Health pension administration).\nDesign integration layers that decouple digital channels from core systems, allowing front-end teams to move independently without over-coupling to backend constraints.\nDesign secure, token-based API interactions using JWT, OAuth/OIDC patterns, managed identity, Key Vault, private endpoints, and least-privilege access controls.\nImplement resilience patterns (e.g., retries, idempotency, asynchronous workflows, messaging, caching).\nPartner with frontend teams to integrate APIs into modern web technologies such as React, Next.js, or comparable frontend frameworks.\nDesign and maintain integration flows where writes may trigger downstream workflows, audits, status tracking, reconciliation, and eventual consistency across systems.\nImplement caching and read-model strategies using Redis, materialized views or projections, or equivalent patterns to improve performance and reduce load on legacy platforms.\nEnsure high-quality, secure code through reviews, automated testing, and CI/CD practices.\nAgile and Collaboration\nServe as a senior technical reference point for API integration decisions across our development squads while fostering an inclusive, respectful team environment that supports learning and shared ownership.\nWork closely with Product Owners and Business Analysts to clarify requirements, shape technical options, identify dependencies, and drive product development outcomes from discovery through delivery.\nCommunicate complex technical risks and decisions clearly to technical and non-technical partners.\nDevelopment and Delivery\nEstablish quality gates for APIs, including unit tests, integration tests, contract tests, API tests, performance tests, security tests, regression coverage, and release-readiness checks.\nDesign for zero-downtime or low-disruption releases by applying backward-compatible changes, versioning discipline, feature toggles where appropriate, and clear operational runbooks.\nProactively identify and address risks to delivery, system reliability, and user experience.\nGuide teams through trade-offs between synchronous APIs, asynchronous workflows, caching, event processing, eventual consistency, backend capability, and user experience needs.\nWhat you will bring:\nStrong experience building secure, reliable RESTful APIs in .NET, ASP.NET Core, cloud functions or serverless services, or comparable enterprise API frameworks.\nExperience with API gateways, including Azure API Management or equivalent AWS/GCP API gateway services, F5/WAF patterns, throttling, rate limiting, and centralized API policy enforcement.\nExperience leading small technical teams or feature teams through product development delivery, including technical planning, developer mentorship, dependency management, and cross-functional collaboration with Product Owners, Business Analysts, QA, Architecture, and operations partners.\nStrong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across technical and business teams.\nExperience integrating backend APIs with frontend applications built using React, Next.js, or similar modern frontend technologies is an asset.\nExperience with CI/CD, automated testing, environment promotion, release management, code review, secure development practices, and production change controls.\nDemonstrated experience designing enterprise integration layers that decouple digital channels from core systems.\nProven experience implementing Backend-for-Frontend, orchestration, proxy, abstraction, or anti-corruption-layer patterns at scale.\nExperience in regulated or high-trust environments (e.g., financial services, healthcare) is an asset\n10+ years of software engineering experience with 6+ years of focused experience in APIs, integration engineering, backend platform engineering, or service-oriented application development. \n3+ years designing and delivering integrations in Azure cloud-native environments, or equivalent experience with AWS or GCP services, including serverless compute, messaging, relational data stores, caching, secrets management, identity, API gateway patterns, monitoring, and observability.\nThe expected annual base salary range for this role is: $103,000 - $153,000 CADThe actual base salary offered to the successful candidate may vary based on multiple factors including, but not limited to, individual's expertise and level of experience applicable to the role they are being offered.\nThis role is eligible to participate in discretionary incentive plan(s), subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable incentive plan text.\nThis job posting is for a newly created role.HOOPP may use artificial intelligence tools to assist in screening, assessing and selecting applicants for this position.
