Remote React Native Developer Intern Jobs in Ontario

What is the opportunity?

Global Functions Technology (GFT) is part of RBC's Technology and Operations division. GFT's reach is broad - we work with partners across Risk, Finance, HR, CAO, Audit, Legal, Compliance, Financial Crime, Capital Markets, Personal and Commercial Banking, and Wealth Management to deliver IT solutions that actually move the needle. We also build digital tools and platforms to improve how teams collaborate.

We're looking for a Frontend-focused Lead Full Stack Developer to design and scale data-driven systems that support advanced analytics, machine learning, and strategic decision-making. You'll be central to building our next-generation trading decisioning and risk management platform leading a small team while staying a strong individual contributor. This role blends hands-on Full Stack development, MLOps, and people leadership, with real influence over technical direction and team growth across the full Data and ML pipeline.

What will you do?

• Hands-On Development:Build, review, and own scalable React-based web applications and microservices backing analytics platforms and ML systems. You'll spend significant time writing code architecting component hierarchies, building data visualization dashboards, and taking genuine end-to-end ownership of frontend delivery.
• React Architecture & Ownership:Drive architectural decisions for React applications: rendering strategies (CSR, SSR, RSC), routing (React Router / Next.js App Router), and state management patterns. Keep the codebase modular, testable, and performant as it scales.
• Team Leadership:Guide and mentor a team of developers through daily work, code reviews, and longer-term career conversations. Build a culture where good engineering and good collaboration go hand in hand.
• Set Technical Direction:Own the frontend standards component patterns, accessibility, bundle optimization, and testing practices. Stay current on what's evolving in the React space (Server Components, Next.js 14+) and make informed calls on adoption.
• Partner Cross-Functionally:Work directly with ML engineers, data engineers, and business stakeholders to turn complex analytical and risk data into clear, performant React UIs.
• Deliver at Scale:Keep projects moving with quality on time and aligned with business priorities. Flag risks early and hold the bar on data governance and security.

• Advanced React:Solid grasp of component lifecycle, reconciliation, hooks (built-in and custom), concurrent features (useTransition,useDeferredValue,Suspense), and error boundaries

• Performance:Comfortable withReact.memo,useMemo,useCallback, code splitting, lazy loading, virtualized lists (TanStack Virtual /react-window), and profiling with React DevTools
• React Ecosystem:Next.js (App Router, Server Components, Streaming SSR), React Router v6+, and testing with Jest, React Testing Library, or Vitest
• Modern UI:Tailwind CSS and Shadcn/UI for scalable, accessible interfaces
• Component Design Systems:Track record building reusable UI libraries - solid prop API design, theming support, WCAG 2.1 compliance
• Storybook:Used for component development, interaction testing, and documentation
• 4+ years designing and building microservice architectures
• 3+ years in a lead or mentorship capacity conducting code reviews, guiding junior/intermediate developers, and involvement in hiring or onboarding
