• Own delivery of features end-to-end, from technical design and implementation through testing, release, and post-production support.
• Contribute to architecture and system design decisions with a focus on scalability, resiliency, security, performance, and long-term maintainability.
• Build intuitive, responsive, and accessible user interfaces while ensuring clean integration with backend APIs and services.
• Develop and enhance backend services, business logic, and integrations to support reliable, secure, and efficient application workflows.
• Troubleshoot complex production issues, perform root cause analysis, and implement durable fixes that improve system stability and operational excellence.
• Elevate engineering standards through thoughtful code reviews, technical documentation, mentoring, and active knowledge sharing across the team.
• Partner effectively with cross-functional stakeholders to clarify requirements, manage technical trade-offs, identify opportunities for improvement, and deliver measurable business value.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Four-year university degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Minimum 4+ years of professional software development experience, excluding co-op or internship experience.
• Strong hands-on experience building modern web applications with React and TypeScript.
• Strong backend development experience with C# and .NET, ideally including experience with modern .NET platforms such as .NET 10.
• Demonstrated understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including domain-driven design, object-oriented design, design patterns, clean code principles, and secure coding practices.
• Experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs, working with databases, and integrating distributed systems or third-party services.
• Experience working in Agile delivery environments and collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced setting.
• Experience with Azure services, cloud-native development, CI/CD pipelines, containerization, or DevOps practices is an asset.

What makes a career at OPG different?

With operations across Ontario, OPG is one of the most diverse power producers in North America. As the largest generator in Ontario, we meet approximately 50% of the province’s electricity needs, largely from low-carbon sources like nuclear and hydro. 

As we work to achieve our vision of Electrifying life in one generation, OPG and our family of companies are also helping advance the development of new low-carbon technologies such as Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), refurbishment projects, and electrification initiatives to help power the growing demands of a growing economy. Join OPG and make history.

Please submit your application online at https://jobs.opg.com/.  OPG thanks all those who apply; however, only candidates considered for an interview will be contacted.

Please note: All job postings at OPG are to fill existing vacancies within our organization. 

OPG may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools as part of the applicant screening process. However, applications will also be reviewed by a member of our Recruitment team to ensure a fair and thorough assessment.

The base salary range considers many factors including, but not limited to experience, education, and training, including any collective agreement requirements for union represented positions. It is not typical for the salary to be offered near the top of the range, and salary is dependent on numerous factors. For management roles, the base salary range does not represent the total compensation package. The total compensation package for regular full-time management roles includes pay-for-performance programs for annual and medium time periods. Maintaining a high-performance culture and excellence is a core expectation of every member of our leadership team and is rewarded through the established compensation framework.

OPG is committed to employment equity. As such, we encourage applicants from equity-seeking communities (Indigenous Peoples, racialized persons, persons with disabilities, and women). We strongly believe that alleviating the under-representation of equity-seeking individuals will create a stronger OPG team and allow us to better serve the needs of our diverse communities.

In order to fulfill the above-mentioned purpose, priority in hiring may be given to qualified persons who self-identify as a member of equity-seeking groups as identified in the application process. This initiative constitutes a special program under the Human Rights Code/Canadian Human Rights Act.
