Senior Software Engineer (Marketing Services, Backend, AEM)

Welcome to TELUS Digital, where innovation meets impact. As an award-winning digital product consultancy, we're shaping the future of digital experiences through cutting-edge technology, agile thinking, and a culture that puts people first. We are the global digital section of TELUS, one of Canada’s largest telecommunications providers. Our global teams deliver transformative digital solutions and customer experiences for industry leaders in consumer electronics, finance, telecommunications, and utilities. With robust multi-shore delivery capabilities, multi-language programs, and secure infrastructure, we ensure exceptional service backed by our multi-billion-dollar parent company.

Our Senior Backend Software Engineers are integral parts of our team at TELUS Digital. To help retain our deep culture of collaboration, this role will maintain an in-office presence in a hybrid capacity (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays) out of one of our office locations.

TELUS Digital is hiring for empathetic, curious engineers to join our growing team. We work in a dynamic and fulfilling atmosphere, helping our clients’ ideas come to life by building robust mobile and web applications. Our backend technology stack varies by project, so we value flexibility and willingness to learn.

Important Note: This Senior Backend Software Engineer role sits on the Marketing Services side of the business rather than our standard product delivery team. Because of this, experience with Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is required.

Our goal is to build amazing solutions for our clients, and our backend implementations are a crucial part of how we deliver on that promise. We understand our responsibility to create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive place within the tech industry, while pushing to make our industry more representative. Because of this responsibility, we need candidates who value diversity and inclusion through their work, team collaboration, or mentorship. So in your cover letter, we encourage you to reflect on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
