Job Description

What is the opportunity?RBC's QTS DevOps team helps build and operate Helios, RBC’s GitHub Actions-based DevOps platform used by application teams across QTS and RBC. As Associate Director, Lead Developer, you will set the technical direction for QTS DevOps and help shape the direction of Helios, lead the team that partners in building it, and drive the platform's agentic AI capabilities as we scale RBC's AI-DLC (AI-Driven Development Lifecycle) across the organization.You'll lead a team of experienced DevOps developers, own architecture and design decisions for the platform, and partner with key stakeholder and platform teams — including Enterprise DevOps, Compute Forge and Cloud — to integrate capabilities, align designs, and ship features that matter. You'll also be a hands-on practitioner who models the behaviors you expect from others, including the effective use of agentic AI tooling in day-to-day engineering work.This role is for someone obsessed with automation and efficiency, unafraid to fail fast, and motivated by enabling others as much as by building great systems themselves.What will you do?Lead the team

• Manage and grow a team of experienced DevOps developers: 1:1s, career development, hiring
• Set the technical direction and hold final say on architecture, design, and implementation decisions for the platform
• Unblock team members on technical, organizational, and HR matters
• Drive a culture of knowledge sharing, ownership, and continuous improvement
• Champion AI enablement — model effective agentic AI workflows and coach the team to adopt them

Drive platform delivery

• Own the technical strategy and drive the roadmap for QTS needs on Helios while partnering closely with Enterprise DevOps on the holistic DevOps strategy for RBC
• Architect, implement, and ship platform capabilities — GitOps, developer experience improvements, pipeline and infrastructure efficiency, and automated onboarding
• Design and embed agentic AI capabilities within the platform, scaling adoption of RBC's AI-DLC methodology and tooling
• Set and enforce standards for code quality, documentation, testing, and release
• Conduct code reviews and architecture reviews, and approve designs and implementations
• Demo and promote platform capabilities to stakeholder teams

Partner across the organization

• Partner with key technical stakeholders across QTS to prioritize and tackle critical DevOps needs
• Partner with platform teams — Compute Forge, Cloud, and Enterprise DevOps — to integrate features into their stacks and align on designs and implementations
• Represent DevOps platform priorities in architecture and design forums

Contribute to broader initiatives

• Inner Source and Developer Experience programs
• Agile Community of Practice
• Co-op / new-grad program participation
• Interviews for neighboring teams

What do you need to succeed? Must-have

• 6+ years of hands-on experience with relevant tech stacks (Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or similar)
• 4+ years leading a software or DevOps engineering team of experienced developers in an agile environment
• Strong platform engineering and DevOps fundamentals, with proven experience delivering production-grade systems and strong SDLC discipline
• Proficiency with GitHub Actions and Deployment practices and workflows
• Experience with Docker and/or Kubernetes, and building or modernizing distributed systems at scale
• Demonstrated technical leadership: setting architecture direction, approving designs, and partnering with other platform teams on cross-team implementations
• Strong communication, analytical thinking, and sense of ownership
• Demonstrated AI practitioner and curiosity: hands-on use of agentic AI tooling (e.g. Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) in your own workflow, with experience driving AI adoption/enablement within teams you've led

Nice-to-have

• Experience with additional CI/CD tooling: Jenkins, Ansible Automation Platform
• Experience with GitOps deployment paradigm
• Experience embedding AI/LLM-based automation into CI/CD pipelines (e.g. automated code review, test generation, self-healing pipelines)
• Experience with agentic AI frameworks or concepts such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, RAG pipelines
• Public cloud: AWS, Azure, or GCP
