  • Solve complex challenges related to performance, concurrency, data volume, availability, and data access, particularly when critical issues arise for our clients.
  • Participate in design and code reviews.
  • Develop prototypes and proofs of concept, then contribute to their integration into our products.

Evolve our data technologies and architectures

  • Analyze how our applications currently store, access, exchange, and leverage data, and identify opportunities for improvement.
  • Evolve data architectures, patterns, and data access and management mechanisms.
  • Evaluate and integrate, when relevant, different storage technologies, including relational databases, in-memory databases, NoSQL, geospatial databases, vector databases, and other technologies suited to emerging needs, particularly those related to AI.
  • Contribute to technical direction around performance, scalability, resilience, schema management, archiving, and observability.
  • Support development teams in adopting new approaches and contribute directly to initiatives aimed at modernizing our products.

Evolve data integration and exchange

  • Contribute to the evolution of inter-system and inter-application integration mechanisms, particularly between the frontend and backend, between agentic AI solutions and application systems, or across different products and services.
  • Design and evolve data exchange mechanisms, including APIs, messaging, events, streaming, and other integration patterns.
  • Evaluate and use technologies such as RabbitMQ, Kafka, or similar technologies when relevant.
  • Contribute to technical direction supporting high-performance, reliable, resilient, and scalable data exchanges.

Evolve how we leverage data

  • Contribute to technology decisions related to the data lifecycle, including data retention, archiving, and long-term accessibility.
  • Contribute to the evolution of approaches used to leverage data for BI, analytics, Data Lakes, and AI.
  • Participate in defining mechanisms that make data accessible to different components and platforms while maintaining consistency, performance, and governance.

Stay on top of emerging technologies

  • Stay current on technologies, architectures, and practices related to data, and identify those that can contribute to the evolution of our products.
  • Evaluate and compare different approaches based on the needs, benefits, and constraints of our solutions.
  • Turn this technology watch into concrete recommendations, prototypes, and product improvements.

THE SKILLS THAT WILL MAKE YOU AN ESSENTIAL MEMBER OF OUR TEAM

  • Between 5 and 15 years of experience in software development, with a specialization in databases and data technologies.
  • Advanced expertise in Oracle and SQL, including strong proficiency in PL/SQL.
  • Strong understanding of database performance, including execution plans, indexing, partitioning, transactions, concurrency, and optimization.
  • Experience with complex transactional systems and large volumes of data.
  • Ability to develop a deep understanding of the interactions between applications, services, and different data technologies.
  • Experience developing in C++ or a similar programming language.
  • Experience with other data technologies, such as PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, geospatial databases, or vector databases, is an asset.
  • Understanding of modern integration architectures, including APIs, messaging, events, and streaming, using technologies such as RabbitMQ or Kafka.
  • Knowledge of BI, analytics, Data Lake architectures, and data platforms is an asset.
  • Knowledge of data lifecycle and archiving considerations.
  • Knowledge of cloud environments, particularly Microsoft Azure and its PaaS services, as well as automation, CI/CD, and observability, is an asset.
  • Ability to stay current on emerging technologies, experiment with new approaches, and turn learnings into concrete product improvements.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
