Currently seeking a Senior Application Software Architect

Contract: 1 year, with 4-1 year options to extend

Position Summary Description

Service improvement has been a priority for the Government of Canada for several years. To support the GC direction, the Digital Transformation Services Sector was created with a mandate to drive digital transformation across the department. This sector is responsible for the development and implementation of ISED’s Service Management Strategy, which aims to deliver innovative, integrated client-centric digital services through a number of projects and institute a department-wide culture of service excellence.
