Senior Software Engineer

British Columbia Investment Management Corporation (BCI) offers an exceptional opportunity to work at a world-class organization while living in a west coast setting. With $313.7 billion of gross assets under management, as of March 31, 2026, British Columbia Investment Management Corporation (BCI) is the provider of investment management services for British Columbia’s public sector and one of the largest asset managers in Canada.

BCI seeks investment opportunities around the world and across a range of asset classes that convert savings into productive capital. Our investment returns play a significant role in helping our institutional clients build a financially secure future for their beneficiaries.
This isn't a traditional IT role, and it isn't a traditional Software Engineer, Data Engineer, or Business Intelligence role either. You'll learn the business, build relationships, and partner with Private Equity SMEs to solve problems instead of taking orders. You'll build applications, automated workflows, and AI agents that change how the PE team works day to day, along with the data pipelines, models, and dashboards that sit underneath them.
WHO YOU WILL WORK WITH   Modern tools, pushing boundaries:
We run Databricks (Unity Catalog, Apps, Lakebase, Genie, Vector Search), Azure, Power BI, and enterprise Claude across the full product suite (Claude Code, Artifacts, Cowork, Skills), already connected to our data platform through an MCP server we built and operate. We are actively replacing manual processes with agentic workflows and internal apps built with AI-assisted development
High-impact work: 75% of the organization uses our analytics; we work with smart, ambitious business users on high-ROI use cases where the results show up in real investment decisions
Embedded, not ticketed:
The team sits with the PE department. You'll be in the room when problems are defined, not handed a spec afterwards
Great culture:
Fast-paced with world-class expectations, but supportive and genuinely fun
THE OPPORTUNITY  Reporting to the Senior Manager, Technology Solutions (Private Equity), the Senior Software Engineer designs and delivers end-to-end, full stack solutions for the business, from production applications and AI agents through to the data pipelines and analytical models that power them, working with minimal technical direction.
You’ll partner closely with Private Equity (PE) teams across PE Finance, PE Operations, Deal teams, and PE directors and executives, where data accuracy has real business and regulatory consequences. You’ll own your work from the first conversation with a stakeholder to the production release and beyond.
