Working at CBC:
At the CBC, we all have a story to tell. What’s yours?
If you share our passion for Canadian storytelling and you wish to help us engage with individuals and communities across our various digital platforms, this is where you’ll want to be!
Every day, you will have an opportunity to shape the way in which Canadians see themselves reflected in our digital services. Your work will have a direct impact on how millions of Canadians from various communities connect with our products, with one another, and with the diverse voices that make our country so unique.
You will have the opportunity to play a part in enlightening and entertaining Canadians through our innovative work in building the mediums that deliver our content. We are an innovative hub, where the talented professionals we work with are respected and valued for their contributions. Our product teams are vibrant and our work culture strives to achieve the highest standards of diversity and inclusion. We believe that hiring people with different career paths and backgrounds is fundamental in our shared success and in building healthy and highly performant teams. When you join our mission, you are not only shaping the vision of the CBC, but the future of our country.
Why is this role important?
We are looking for a Fullstack Developer who wants to learn or expand their knowledge in personalization and work with data on a larger scale to create unique, customized experiences. This is an opportunity for someone who is a true builder, that loves to play with Lego (Check out the Lego replica of our Toronto building.) You will be part of defining and shaping an engaging experience for over 18 million Canadians using a vast amount of data.
As part of an integral team, you will have the chance to show initiative and seek out collaborative opportunities with other product development teams to guarantee the success of the Data Management Platform (DMP) and Customer Data Platform (CDP) integration. You will make a direct contribution to the CBC.ca website, exploring opportunities to optimize our platform integrations. You will have the opportunity to leverage cross team collaboration to improve our application architecture across the different domains. You will have a chance to pursue your interest in third-party platform selection, setup, and service. Most recently, our team created personalized user-facing interfaces on the landing page for CBC’s Olympics landing page enabling a unique customized view of the Olympics content based on what the DMP tool determined to be of interest.
If you're passionate about Canada and you love technology, learning and bringing out the best in others, you’ll love working at CBC.

Working on this team will give you exposure to all of CBC/Radio-Canada’s digital products, and you will work with experts in audience research, data science, ad specialists and many other people who are just as passionate about data and CBC/Radio-Canada’s mission.
