Key Requirements (Mandatory) - Location & Residency: Must be an On-shore Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident.
- Security Clearance: Must hold (or be eligible to obtain) Government Security Clearance due to the highly sensitive nature of GoC LCD environments, full database access, and customer account handling.
- Core Developer Background: Strong proficiency in Java and Node.js. (Backend experience with TypeScript / Express is a strong plus).
- Database & Query Expertise: Strong relational database experience with PostgreSQL or Oracle.
- 3+ years of experience in data transformation and analytical querying.
- Deep understanding of relational queries including subqueries, analytic window functions, aggregations, triggers, partitioning, and index/optimization hints.
- Cloud & Modern Infrastructure: Solid knowledge of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
- Foundational understanding of Kubernetes and container orchestration.
- AI & Tooling Proficiency: Strong ability to work alongside AI tools (especially Claude) to accelerate development, identify broken logic, and plan new data transformation pathways.
- High IDE proficiency utilizing VS Code.
- DevOps & Standard Practices: - Experience with GitHub and robust CI/CD pipelines.
- Solid grasp of API design and REST principles.
- Familiarity with Dynatrace for observability and performance monitoring.

- Quality Mindset: Acute focus on quality control, including unit testing, integration testing, and comprehensive data validation.
- Security Awareness: Deep consciousness of data sensitivity and security protocols related to government contracting.
- Collaboration: Exceptional communication and documentation skills to ensure smooth knowledge transfer and team alignment.
How to Stand Out
- Highlight any experience you have with Kenan or other billing platforms in your resume; concrete examples of data‑transformation work stand out.
- Prepare a short demo of a Java or Node.js project that showcases complex SQL queries or CI/CD pipelines; bring the repo link to the interview.
- Familiarize yourself with Google Cloud’s GKE console and be ready to discuss container orchestration concepts.
- Mention any exposure to AI‑assisted coding tools; interviewers may ask how you’d use Claude to debug a function.
- Verify that you can obtain a Government of Canada security clearance before the interview; be prepared to discuss eligibility.
- When negotiating, factor in remote‑work stipends and professional‑development allowances rather than base salary alone.
- Watch for vague promises about “salary” without disclosure; request clarity on compensation components early in the process.
