POSTING CLOSE DATE: Open until filled
At BCI, our Workday platform is evolving as fast as the organization around it. We're hiring a Platform Engineer who brings deep integration expertise, thinks beyond the ticket, and has a genuine interest in shaping how one of Canada's largest institutional investors operates. The person in this role won't just maintain integrations, they'll drive platform maturity, influence how we work, and leave a mark on how BCI operates. Based in Victoria, BC, the province's capital and one of the most livable cities on Canada's west coast, or in Vancouver, you'll join a Technology team that treats collaboration and continuous improvement as the norm, not the exception.
You'll own the engineering, reliability, and evolution of BCI's Workday platform, building and sustaining integrations, configuring platform capabilities, and ensuring dependable data flow and reporting across HR, Finance, Payroll, and Procurement. Partnering closely with vendors and internal teams, you'll design and support robust integration solutions using modern Workday tooling and API patterns, monitor platform health, and resolve complex issues through root cause analysis. You'll set integration architecture standards, mentor engineers, lead the most complex deliverables, and shape platform strategy in partnership with the Senior Manager, while also working hands on across mid to high complexity integrations and stakeholder engagements. Your work will strengthen platform standards, security, and release readiness.

The Technology department is BCI's innovation catalyst and digital transformation engine, pioneering the future of institutional investment through cutting edge technology solutions.
