About the role

CODE IS YOURfavoriteLANGUAGE.

The Opportunity

You’re a wizard with code — and proud of it. You love working and playing with computers, and there are simply no words to describe your deep love for technology. You can’t visit a website or use an app without dissecting it to figure out how it works and how it could be better for the end user, often leveraging AI-assisted coding tools to accelerate innovation.

We’re looking for more than just a skilled developer — we’re looking for a technical leader. Someone who can partner closely with the Agile Team Lead to evaluate feasibility, estimate work, and guide technical initiatives. As an advocate of AI-assisted programming and specification-driven workflows, you’ll help set technical direction, mentor peers, and drive the evolution of our solutions while supporting the growth of our development team.

As a Senior Full Stack Developer for our Software Development team, you’ll help provide AMA with new business solutions and improve existing technology solutions. Your primary responsibility is to translate software requirements into robust, maintainable applications—using spec-driven development and AI coding tools to enhance productivity and quality. You’ll code, maintain, enhance, develop, and test applications for use within AMA, all while enjoying a creative work environment and excellent benefits.

The Team You’ve Been Looking For

AMA is more than a workplace; it’s a family. Together, we help protect the things that matter most to our more than one-million members—everything from roadside safety to retail savings, food security to childhood well-being. And with operations that span automotive, registries, travel, insurance and more, the opportunities to grow with us are almost limitless!

Building on a century of proud service in Alberta communities, we’re passionate about making a meaningful difference in the places where we live and work. And that all begins with our people. As part of the AMA team, you’ll enjoy:

  • Competitive salary and flexible benefits
  • Employer-paid retirement savings program
  • Employee-exclusive discounts on travel, insurance, memberships, and more
  • Free travel medical insurance for you and your immediate family
  • Ongoing professional development
  • Paid vacation and personal days, including a Volunteer Day and Me Day
  • Flexible work models that make sense for your lifestyle

Who You Are

  • You’re a trusted technical advisor, able to break down complex problems and guide the team toward effective solutions.
  • You thrive in a leadership role, balancing hands-on development with strategic thinking and a commitment to AI-assisted and spec-driven development approaches.
  • You’re confident making technical decisions and communicating trade-offs to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • You tackle every project with anticipation and excitement — no matter how big or how small.
  • You ‘get’ what it means to be part of the team and enjoy working in a collaborative environment.
  • The words “that will do” aren’t in your vocabulary. You always strive to find the best, most innovative solution.
  • You don’t sit around waiting to be told what to do. You know what needs to be done and you do it.
  • You love rolling up your sleeves and digging into the details.
  • You handle even the tightest deadlines with a cool head and a clear vision.
  • You’re a natural mentor. Bringing out the best in others brings out the best in you.

How You’ll Make an Impact

  • Act as a technical leader within the team, partnering closely with the Agile Team Lead to assess feasibility, estimate effort, and shape technical direction.
  • Provide architectural guidance and lead technical initiatives that align with business goals.
  • Mentor and share expertise with developers, promoting best practices in AI-assisted programming and spec-driven methodologies.
  • Help guide higher level architecture and design.
  • Research and resolve problems, coordinate problem solving with vendors, network and hardware support staff, and business users.
  • Promote a positive security culture, particularly in the development of software systems.
  • Participate in the design and implementation of IT service management standards, tools, and methodologies.
  • Evaluate and adopt new products, tools, and AI technologies to drive business value and platform modernization.
  • Follow modern application architecture guidelines and design principles such as separation of concerns, single responsibility, and least knowledge.
  • Create user-centric applications by considering customer feedback, technical constraints, opportunities, and usability findings.
  • Coordinate with product owners, other developers, and business users through the project life cycle to gather and understand requirements, determine best solutions, and demonstrate functionality to end users.
  • Champion test-driven development (TDD), continuous integration, and spec-driven workflows to ensure our products consistently meet or exceed expectations.
  • Ensure all application changes are developed, tested, and implemented in a well-controlled environment.
  • Follow a Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery workflow to enable frequent, reliable production deployments.
  • Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation backed by automated monitoring and an incident management platform.

What You Bring to the Table

  • You have a university degree or technical diploma in a related field such as Information Technology or Computer Science.
  • You have 5 years or more of progressive web development experience in everything from architecture to a firm understanding of design concepts and deployment of highly available web and mobile applications.
  • You have used AI coding platforms like Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot to deliver code.
  • You’re highly skilled with authentication and authorization frameworks and policies.
  • You’re comfortable working with data security at rest and transit, database modeling, and database transaction management.

    • React (or another front-end framework)
    • Node.js and modern JavaScript
    • TypeScript
    • Full web stack (HTTP, cookies, caching, browser rendering)

    • AWS experience with CDK, CloudFormation, Lambda, and CodePipeline
    • Microservice and serverless architectures
    • Working with CI/CD pipelines
    • Git (Azure DevOps, GitHub)
  • You’ll get bonus points if you have:
    • Open-source contributions
    • Experience developing using the Event Driven Architecture design pattern
    • Experience with containers (Docker, Kubernetes)
    • Experience with Stripe API

About AMA - Alberta Motor Association

Consumer Services

AMA is a multi-service organization representing 1 million Albertans. While most often known for our roadside assistance program, we also offer travel, registries and insurance services, Alberta’s largest driver education school, a member rewards program and member events in our communities. Part of the CAA and AAA family, we’re focused on our member’s needs and guided by their values to provide products, services and advocacy to help them live confidently.

Anyone here will tell you that we’re a different kind of employer, and it all comes down to how we treat our members - and each other. We've boiled it down to just two words: Practically Family. That’s not just a catchy phrase, we live it every day through simple gestures.

Practically Family is the web developer heading off shift who stops to help a team member carry items in the door, the insurance advisor who uses their break to pick up an extra coffee for a co-worker who’s having a bad day, or the registries agent who takes the time to help a member put their new licence plate on their vehicle. Not to mention all the birthday parties, free food days and wedding showers we throw for each other!

Taking care of one another, encouraging one another. It’s what family does, and what being Practically Family is all about. If you can picture yourself answering yes to the question, “Am I treating this member or colleague like a close family member or friend?” with every interaction, you’re our kind of people!
