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, how it could be better for the end user, and how modern development practices — including AI-assisted coding and specification-driven workflows — can help deliver better outcomes faster.

We’re looking for more than just a skilled developer — we’re looking for a leader who brings strong technical judgment, hands-on delivery experience, and a collaborative approach to solving complex problems. In this role, you’ll partner closely with the Agile Team Lead, product owners, developers, and business stakeholders to understand requirements, assess feasibility, contribute to estimates, and help shape pragmatic technical solutions.

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. You’ll code, maintain, enhance, develop, and test applications for use within AMA, while contributing technical insight, mentoring peers, and helping the team continuously improve how we build and deliver software.

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

• Employer-paid retirement savings program

• Employee-exclusive discounts on travel, insurance, memberships, and more

• Free travel medical insurance for you and your immediate family

• Ongoing professional development

• Paid vacation and personal days, including a Volunteer Day and Me Day

• Flexible work models that make sense for your lifestyle

For us, curiosity fuels innovation. We value people who are eager to explore new ideas and who are comfortable putting emerging technologies into practice. We see experience with AI‑powered tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, and similar platforms as a real plus - especially when it’s used to work smarter, increase efficiency, and find better ways to get things done.

Who You Are

• You’re an experienced developer who can break down complex problems, propose thoughtful options, and help the team make sound technical decisions.
• You’re confident making technical decisions and communicating trade-offs to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• You tackle every project with anticipation and excitement — no matter how big or how small.
• You ‘get’ what it means to be part of the team and enjoy working in a collaborative environment.
• The words “that will do” aren’t in your vocabulary. You always strive to find the best, most innovative solution.
• You don’t sit around waiting to be told what to do. You know what needs to be done and you do it.
• You love rolling up your sleeves and digging into the details.
• You handle even the tightest deadlines with a cool head and a clear vision.
• You actively explore modern software practices — including AI-assisted development, test-driven development, continuous integration, and specification-driven workflows — and look for practical ways to apply what you learn.
• You’re a natural mentor. Bringing out the best in others brings out the best in you.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Design, build, test, and maintain high-quality full stack applications that support AMA’s business goals and member experience.
• Partner with the Agile Team Lead, product owners, developers, and business users to understand requirements, assess technical feasibility, and contribute to delivery planning.
• Provide architectural guidance and lead technical initiatives that align with business goals.
• Mentor and support peers through code reviews, pairing, design conversations, and practical sharing of development best practices.
• Apply AI-assisted programming and specification-driven development practices to improve productivity, consistency, and quality.
• Research and resolve technical problems, coordinating with vendors, infrastructure teams, support teams, and business stakeholders as needed.
• 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.

• Enforce test-driven development (TDD) and continuous integration.

What You Bring to the Table

• You have 5 years or more of progressive web development experience in everything from architecture to a firm understanding of design concepts and deployment of highly available web and mobile applications.
• You have used AI coding platforms like Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot to deliver code.
• You’re highly skilled with authentication and authorization frameworks and policies.
