What are Software Program Managers?

Software Program Managers are professionals who oversee the planning, execution, and delivery of software projects within an organization. They coordinate cross-functional teams, manage project timelines and budgets, and ensure that software products meet business goals and quality standards. Their role involves risk management, stakeholder communication, and resolving any issues that could impact project success. Software Program Managers act as a bridge between technical teams and business leaders to ensure alignment throughout the software development lifecycle.

What is the difference between Software Program Manager vs Software Project Manager?

AspectSoftware Program ManagerSoftware Project Manager
ResponsibilitiesOversees multiple related projects, aligns them with business goals, manages interdependenciesManages individual software projects, focuses on scope, schedule, and deliverables
CertificationsPMI-ACP, PMP, Agile certifications often preferredPMP, Scrum Master, Agile certifications
Work EnvironmentStrategic planning, cross-project coordination, stakeholder communicationDay-to-day project execution, team management, task tracking
Industry UsageCommon in large organizations managing multiple projectsCommon in both small and large teams focusing on specific projects

While both roles involve project management skills, a Software Program Manager oversees multiple related projects to ensure strategic alignment, whereas a Software Project Manager focuses on the successful delivery of individual projects. The Program Manager handles broader coordination and stakeholder communication, often requiring similar certifications but with a focus on program-level objectives.

How does a Software Program Manager typically collaborate with development and QA teams to ensure project success?

A Software Program Manager works closely with both development and QA teams to align project timelines, clarify requirements, and address roadblocks as they arise. They facilitate regular meetings, such as stand-ups or sprint reviews, to ensure everyone is on the same page and that priorities are being met. By acting as a bridge between technical and non-technical stakeholders, Program Managers help ensure that quality standards are maintained while deadlines are achieved. Effective communication and proactive issue resolution are key aspects of their collaboration with these teams.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Software Program Manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Software Program Manager, you need expertise in project management, software development life cycles, and a relevant degree, often complemented by experience in leading technical teams. Familiarity with tools such as Jira, Microsoft Project, and Agile or Scrum certifications is typically required for planning and tracking progress. Strong communication, stakeholder management, and problem-solving abilities are crucial soft skills for aligning teams and managing expectations. These competencies are vital to deliver projects on time, within scope, and to ensure effective collaboration among cross-functional teams.

Forsite Consultants Ltd

Edmonton, AB • Hybrid

Job description

Job Opportunity: Software Developer - Junior

Employee type: Full time, Permanent

Location: Edmonton, Alberta (Hybrid)

Forcorp Solutions Inc., part of Forsite, is actively looking for a Software Developer - Intermediate/Senior to join our team in Edmonton, Alberta. We believe in flexibility, collaboration, and fostering an environment where everyone can thrive.

WHO WE ARE

Forcorp Solutions Inc. is part of Forsite, a geospatial intelligence company operating across Canada and the United States, formed through the unification of six established organizations including Forcorp and Forsite Consultants Ltd.


Since 1993, Forcorp Solutions Inc. has provided high quality and innovative services and solutions to industry, government, and academic organizations in the areas of natural resource management, information technology, health care, and data management. Our software helps manage natural resources across Alberta: platforms for forestry land management, weather data processing that feeds wildfire risk modelling, and systems that track watershed health and fish migration province-wide. We also build the software used to manage clinical trials in Alberta. Our success relies on developing an in-depth understanding of our clients' needs and delivering solutions and services that improve their business.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

We are seeking a junior software developer to join our Edmonton team. You will contribute to real projects from your first week, with code review and mentorship from senior developers. This is a good fit for someone early in their career who wants exposure to the full breadth of a project rather than a single layer of it.


Key aspects of the role:

  • Work as part of a small, collaborative agile development team focused on full-stack development, with exposure to every piece of the project
  • Build web-based applications in Java and Spring Framework, with a React/TypeScript frontend, backed by PostgreSQL and Apache Solr, using RabbitMQ for asynchronous processing (current stack: Java 21, Spring Boot 3, React 18)
  • Get exposure to spatial-oriented projects using open source libraries such as PostGIS, Geoserver, Geotools, and OpenLayers
  • Tackle hard technical problems with support from a team that values continuous learning
  • Focus on our web platforms (not mobile), though opportunities on our offline-first Android field data collection apps may arise later
  • Be introduced to AI-powered product features and AI coding tools used in daily development


WHAT YOU WILL NEED

Forcorp Solutions Inc. welcomes applicants from all backgrounds. If you're missing some of the technical skills listed below, we encourage you to apply anyway.


Must have:

  • Legally permitted to work in Canada
  • Degree in computing science or computer engineering
  • Solid fundamentals: data structures, SQL and relational databases, version control with Git, and the basics of how the web works
  • Programming experience in Java, TypeScript/JavaScript, or Python (coursework, co-op terms, and personal projects all count)


Assets include:

  • React
  • Spring
  • Linux
  • GIS


WHO YOU ARE

  • Early in your career and eager to learn the full breadth of a project
  • Curious and self-directed, comfortable picking things up from coursework, co-ops, or personal projects
  • A clear communicator who asks good questions
  • Open to feedback and mentorship from senior developers
  • Interested in how AI tools fit into a developer's workflow


WHAT WE PROVIDE

We offer a flexible and rewarding work environment, including:

  • Competitive salaries
  • Benefits, an RRSP program, and a health spending allowance
  • Hybrid work schedule (arrangements for new hires discussed during the interview process)
  • A collaborative, creative, small-team culture where your work ships and runs in production


DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION

At Forcorp Solutions Inc., we are committed to fostering a work environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to succeed. We welcome applications from qualified individuals of all backgrounds. If you require accommodation during the hiring process, please let us know - we are happy to support you.

We thank all applicants for their interest; however, only candidates selected for interviews will be contacted.
