Digital & Technology Solutions has set out to achieve the following objectives for EDC:\nDefine, execute, and sustain the integrated technology target state, target data model and technology operations required to enable EDC’s 2030 business transformation. \nEstablish and manage the rolling 3 Year Digital Roadmap that sequences the technology outcomes required to achieve the technology target state and facilitate its execution across all domains in the organization. \nKeep pace with industry trends and emerging technologies, ensuring EDC has access to the digital technology tools it needs to stay relevant in the market and grow Canadian global trade. \nLead and ensure integrated digital, data, infrastructure, and cybersecurity implementations to create excellent customer, user, and employee experiences. \nAs EDC aims to be the leader in helping all Canadian exporters go, grow, and succeed internationally, the Digital Platform Delivery & Architecture (DPDA) group in EDC plays a critical role in enabling leaders to leverage technologies by providing an easy-to-use, secure and fit-for-purpose digital business platform.\nTo strengthen our delivery capabilities, the Digital Platforms group is seeking a Senior Developer with specialized expertise in Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help establish and advance EDC's AI-enabled software development capabilities. This role will focus on designing and implementing AI-powered developer experiences, integrating AI into software engineering practices, and accelerating the adoption of modern development approaches across the software development lifecycle (SDLC).\nThis position combines design and hands-on engineering.
