THE OPPORTUNITY

BCI’s Technology team is hiring a Software Engineer III in Victoria or Vancouver, BC. This isn’t a traditional development role. It’s a strategic opportunity to build intelligent, cloud-native solutions that directly support the investment operations of one of Canada’s most respected financial institutions.

We’ve redefined our operating model to embed technologists directly within business verticals like Private Markets. That means you won’t just be supporting the business—you’ll be partnering with it. You’ll work side-by-side with investment professionals to understand their challenges and deliver solutions that drive performance, efficiency, and competitive advantages.

WHO YOU WILL WORK WITH

As part of BCI’s Technology team, you will collaborate with cross-functional partners to enable critical investment processes and accelerate digital transformation. You will work alongside talented engineers, architects, and business stakeholders to design and deliver innovative, high-impact solutions that support BCI’s long-term goals.

This is a team that values curiosity, technical depth, and continuous learning. You will have the opportunity to work with modern tools and cloud platforms, contribute to enterprise-scale systems, and help shape the future of technology at a globally respected investment institution.
