Build Technology that Protects People and Saves Lives

The Mission : At Motorola Solutions, we don’t just build software; we build tools that keep communities safe. As part of the Avigilon Unity Video team, your code will empower security professionals around the world to respond to emergencies faster and more effectively. If you are passionate about solving complex problems that have a tangible impact on society, you belong here.

The Culture : We believe that "none of us is as smart as all of us." We are looking for a technologist who loves to learn and, more importantly, loves to share. Our team thrives on a culture of mentorship, continuous improvement, and technical curiosity. Whether it’s pushing for better DevOps practices or introducing a new architectural pattern, you will be encouraged to challenge the status quo and elevate the team.

What You’ll Do :

Innovate & Lead : Provide hands-on technical leadership in developing both Desktop (C# / C++ / WPF) and Cloud (React / Node.js) solutions.

Mentor & Grow : Actively participate in our Architecture Community of Practice, fostering a collaborative environment where you mentor junior engineers and learn from peers.

Deliver Excellence : Design scalable, secure, and maintainable software that adheres to high-quality standards and modern DevOps practices (CI / CD, containerization).

Collaborate : Work within a high-performing Scrum team to execute our architectural roadmap and leverage emerging technologies like AI / ML.

What You Bring :

The Basics : A degree in Computer Science (or equivalent experience) and 5+ years of software development experience.

Technical Depth : Strong proficiency in C# and C++. You have a track record of delivering large-scale, public-facing applications.

Curiosity : A passion for staying current with technology trends and a desire to teach others what you’ve learned.

Communication : Clear, transparent communication skills and an optimistic, growth-oriented mindset.

Preferred Experience (Not a Dealbreaker!) :

Experience as a technical lead or mentor.

Exposure to JavaScript frameworks (React, Angular) or Node.js.

Familiarity with AI / Machine Learning or modern DevOps tooling.

Work Style : This is a hybrid role based out of our Vancouver, BC office. We value the energy of in-person collaboration while respecting the flexibility of remote work. Candidates must reside in the Greater Vancouver Area.
