Senior Full Stack Developer

CODE IS YOUR favorite LANGUAGE.

The Opportunity

You’re a wizard with code — and proud of it. You love working and playing with computers, and there are simply no words to describe your deep love for technology. You can’t visit a website or use an app without dissecting it to figure out how it works and how it could be better for the end user.

We’re looking for more than just a skilled developer — we’re looking for a technical leader. Someone who can partner closely with the Agile Team Lead to evaluate feasibility, estimate work, and guide technical initiatives. You’ll be a trusted advisor and mentor, helping shape the direction of our solutions and supporting the growth of our development team.

As a Senior Full Stack Developer for our Software Development team, you’ll help provide AMA with new business solutions and improve existing technology solutions. The primary responsibility of this job is to translate software requirements into working software and to code, maintain, enhance, develop and test applications for use in AMA. This is a fantastic opportunity to engage in a positive and creative work environment that offers excellent benefits.

The Team You’ve Been Looking For

AMA is more than a workplace; it’s a family. Together, we help protect the things that matter most to our more than one-million members—everything from roadside safety to retail savings, food security to childhood well-being. And with operations that span automotive, registries, travel, insurance and more, the opportunities to grow with us are almost limitless!

Building on a century of proud service in Alberta communities, we’re passionate about making a meaningful difference in the places where we live and work. And that all begins with our people. As part of the AMA team, you’ll enjoy:

• Competitive salary and flexible benefits

• Enforce test-driven development (TDD) and continuous integration to ensure our products consistently meet or exceed expectations.
• Ensure all application changes are developed, tested, and implemented in a well-controlled environment.
• Follow a Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery workflow to enable frequent, reliable production deployments.
• Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation backed by automated monitoring and an incident management platform.
