Job Summary
The Cloud Solution & Integration Developer provides advanced technical leadership in the design, development, and modernization of DAE’s enterprise application ecosystem. This role is responsible for architecting and implementing cloud‑integrated solutions, API‑driven services, modern UX interfaces, and AI‑enabled agentic workflows that support DAE’s transition from legacy on‑premises systems to a cloud‑first, scalable, and extensible platform environment.
The position leads major modernization initiatives, including rewriting legacy components, re‑platforming SDK‑based customizations into cloud‑compatible architectures, and designing new digital capabilities using contemporary programming frameworks. This role requires deep expertise in cloud development, distributed systems, modern front‑end frameworks, and advanced integration patterns.
Organizational Status
Reports to the Associate Director, Solutions Development at DAE. Works closely with enterprise architects, cloud engineers, product owners, project managers, and external vendors. Provides technical leadership to developers, analysts, and cross‑functional implementation teams.
Work Performed
- Designs and develops cloud‑integrated applications using modern programming languages, cloud services, and distributed‑system patterns.
- Leads the re‑architecture and rewrite of legacy on‑prem components into cloud‑native or hybrid‑cloud solutions.
- Develops scalable API‑driven services, microservices, and integration layers to support enterprise modernization.
- Implements secure, compliant, and resilient cloud‑based SDK customizations for CRM and related platforms.
- Designs and implements complex integrations between cloud platforms, SaaS systems, enterprise applications, and data services.
- Develops and maintains modern APIs, event‑driven workflows, and middleware components.
- Ensures integration patterns support high availability, observability, and performance at enterprise scale.

- Leads major modernization projects, including system rewrites, re‑platforming, and cloud migration initiatives.
- Provides architectural guidance and technical leadership to cross‑functional teams.
- Establishes development standards, coding practices, and cloud‑native engineering patterns.
- Ensures all cloud and integration solutions meet institutional security standards and comply with PCI DSS where applicable.
- Implements automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and DevSecOps practices.
- Conducts code reviews, performance tuning, and security assessments.
- Works with SaaS vendors to extend platform capabilities through APIs, SDKs, and cloud‑supported customization models.
- Evaluates vendor roadmaps and recommends adoption strategies aligned with modernization goals.
- Produces architectural diagrams, technical specifications, and cloud‑solution documentation.
- Mentors developers and analysts in cloud programming, modern frameworks, and integration best practices.
- Contributes to long‑term capability building within the Information Systems team.
Consequence of Error/Judgement
Errors in judgment, poor planning, or failure to act decisively could have a detrimental effect on these systems. Unreliable systems and code errors that disrupt the operations of these systems or failure to meet contractual obligations for performance and availability will damage the reputation of UBC and DAE. This could adversely impact funding and revenue and the University community, including the large majority of students, faculty and staff.
Decisions made by the Associate Director involve highly sensitive donor and payment data and directly influence system stability, data integrity, donor experience, and compliance posture. Errors in cloud architecture, API design, or modernization strategy may result in system outages, data exposure, compliance failures, or significant operational disruption. Poor technical decisions may compromise modernization timelines, increase institutional risk, or negatively impact donor‑facing systems and revenue‑generating processes.
Supervision Received
Operates with a high degree of independence and technical authority. Work is evaluated based on architectural soundness, modernization progress, and alignment with strategic objectives.
Supervision Given
Provides technical leadership to developers, analysts, and project teams. May oversee contractors or vendor resources during modernization initiatives.
