Team Overview

The Digital & Tech Solutions (DTS) group under the leadership of the Chief Information Officer was established in 2023 with the mission of empowering our customers and colleagues to take on the world, by seamlessly delivering secure and reliable digital experiences. Digital & Tech Solutions has set out to achieve the following objectives for EDC:

• Define, execute, and sustain the integrated technology target state, target data model and technology operations required to enable EDC’s 2030 business transformation.
• Establish 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.
• Keep 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.
• Lead and ensure integrated digital, data, infrastructure, and cybersecurity implementations to create excellent customer, user, and employee experiences.

As 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.

To 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).

This position combines design and hands‑on engineering. The early period involves substantial consultation and architecture work; thereafter it is predominantly implementation. Candidates seeking only one of these will not find the role a good fit.

• Design practical agent driven workflows that automate common development activities like requirements gathering, scaffolding, test execution, code analysis, and structured validation.
• Embed AI-assisted development into delivery workf
