We are currently seeking an Application Software Architect to join our team in Canada.

Project Summary

The scope of this position is to provide expert support to the Individual Partnerships and Payment Solutions (IPPS) team. The objective of is to provide expert advice, and active hands-on support in the migration of the Canadian Benefit for Parents of Young Victims of Crime (PYVC), Apprenticeship Grants (AG) and Coal Workforce Transition Program (COAL) originating from the legacy system (CSGC) migration to the new Individual Grants and Contributions System (IGCS). The role will focus on identifying design and implementation activities specifically supporting technical design, deployment, configuration, system integration, implementation, and infrastructure testing including integrated load, stress, performance, and scalability.

The current system is hindered by outdated technology, which limits its capacity to adapt to the flexible needs of modern workforce management. Its architecture is rigid and not scalable, leading to difficulties in implementing necessary updates and changes. Moreover, the system's lack of compliance with web accessibility standards (WCAG) poses significant operational and legal risks. The user interface and experience are also dated and not in line with modern user expectations, impacting efficiency and accuracy in managing CSGC programs. Additionally, the legacy database system's inefficiency poses challenges in data storage and retrieval, crucial for effective CSGC program administration.
