Remote Full Stack Software Developer Jobs in Alberta

Project Overview
The Province has a strategic role within government to drive efficiencies, innovation and modernization. As part of this role, the Province is expanding the GoA's digital delivery of services with the view of simplifying and providing better user experiences with interactions with the GoA. The Digital Design and Delivery Division (3D), is the Province's centre for digital delivery. It was established to maximize capability and confidence in modern digital practice by ensuring service quality and value through standards and controls. This includes utilizing human-centred design approaches together with agile methodology and modern data practices. 3D works in partnership with GoA ministries to deliver programs that better serve Albertans.
The Province requires up to fifty (50) Full Stack Developers to work with 3D on service innovation, program review and digital transformation projects across the GoA. The Full Stack Developers will work as part of cross-functional program review or product delivery teams. These teams, led by GoA product owners and 3D work collaboratively and collectively participate in a full range of activities including: field research, backlog definition and refinement, and sprint planning and execution. Digital transformation projects review the current state of services, identify future opportunities, and then deliver new services that are efficient, effective and affordable.
The Full Stack Developer(s) will participate in and contribute to a team's shared understanding on a number of project issues including the related software ecosystem, the project team working agreement, and any current service implementation. They will also work to develop functionality in the provision of services to the public by the GoA.
Scope of Services
It is anticipated that the Full Stack Developer will be required for one (1) year; however, the Province may extend the contract for up to twenty-four (24) months on the same terms and conditions.
The Full Stack Developer will be required on a full time basis (7.25 hour work day), working across two (2) to three (3) projects. Time, location, and frequency of work will vary depending on the needs of the particular project. At the end of each term, it is expected that the Full Stack Developer may work a maximum of 1,960 hours, unless otherwise agreed upon with the Province. However, a Full Stack Developer may be required to work fewer or more hours depending on the nature and needs of their work, as directed by the Province.
