What You’ll Be Doing

As a Software Engineer II on the US Risk Technology team, you’ll design, build, and support Power Platform tools to transform CIBC’s risk management capabilities and enable our bank’s continued growth. Your work will encompass the full software development lifecycle, from requirements gathering to hands-on solution implementation, testing, and production support.

At CIBC we enable the work environment most optimal for you to thrive in your role. You’ll have the flexibility to manage your work activities within a hybrid work arrangement where you’ll spend at least 2 days per week on-site, while other days may be remote.

How You’ll Succeed

• Software Development – build process automation and business intelligence solutions using Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, Power BI, and third-party integrations). CIBC uses the Azure cloud computing platform, including Azure SQL and Databricks.

• Technical Partnership – apply your passion for technology to build robust solutions. Work effectively with others and influence others without authority. Identify gaps and bring them to resolution involving the right audience at the right time.

• Business Savvy – apply your knowledge of banking and risk management to analyze challenging business problems, document requirements, and translate them to technology solutions.

• Collaboration – build trusted working relationships with business stakeholders and technology partners. Ensure alignment between business objectives and software implementation.

• Communication – express technical concepts to non-technical audiences with precision and clarity. Work directly with end-users to troubleshoot problems and document requests for new functionality.

• Continuous Learning – stay up-to-date with emerging technologies, changes in the banking industry, and regulatory developments.

Who You Are

• You can demonstrate at 1-3 years of experience with software development in Power Platform and a relevant post-secondary degree. Microsoft certifications, such as PL-200, PL-400, and PL-900, would be an asset.

• You are a technology enthusiast who is passionate about data, automation, and its potential in the financial services industry. While most of our solutions use the Microsoft platform, experience with tools like Alteryx, Talend, Tableau, and Cognos would also be an asset.

• You understand banking fundamentals. Exposure to risk management, capital stress testing, credit risk models, and regulatory compliance would be particularly relevant.

• You have broad technical familiarity with cloud computing (preferably Azure), technology infrastructure, low-code development, and relational databases.

• You give meaning to data. You enjoy investigating complex problems, making sense of information, and finding solutions within the boundaries of a data governance framework.

• Your influence makes an impact. You know that relationships and networks are essential to success. You inspire outcomes by making yourself heard.

• You're driven by collective success. You know that collaboration can transform a good idea into a great one. You understand the power of an inclusive team that enjoys working together to create a shared vision.

• You embrace and champion change. You'll continuously evolve your thinking and the way you work in order to deliver your best.

• Values matter to you. You bring your real self to work and you live our values - trust, teamwork, and accountability.
