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. We're hiring at Level II or III based on what you bring.

THE OPPORTUNITY:

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.

Your work will strengthen platform standards, security, and release readiness.

At Level II, you'll work independently on mid-to-high complexity integrations and stakeholder engagements, contributing to platform standards and continuous improvement.

At Level III, you'll step into a senior technical role, setting integration architecture standards, mentoring engineers, leading the most complex deliverables, and shaping platform strategy in partnership with the Senior Manager.
