Project details: Customized Solution Platform (previously known as CCXLate) is an in-house developed file translation and reporting platform that enables the Bank to receive unique customer files and transforms them into a file format that our payment systems can process. It also provides data to the customer in a format their systems can process. This includes detailed reporting data to support their reconciliation, cash positioning, investments, etc. The Customized Solution platform reduces the integration work required for clients’treasury management/enterprise resource platform systems which allows for rapid onboarding of customers and enables faster revenue generation for the Bank. This platform is a key component to our RFP responses, as no other Canadian FI has an equivalent platform.
The developers will be assisting with this project as stated and approved in the business case.

Best vs average candidate The ideal candidate is someone with strong experience working on legacy applications and leading modernization efforts. Because this project involves a large scale rewrite, we need someone who has already navigated the complexities of migrating older systems into a modern technology stack. Their background should include hands-on exposure to refactoring legacy code, validating functionality through thorough testing, and ensuring feature parity during the transition. This migration experience is the key indicator that they can step into this role and deliver successfully.
An average candidate would be someone who hasn’t gone through a major migration before. Without that experience, they’re often caught off guard by the unexpected issues that come up when rewriting or modernizing legacy systems. Migrations rarely go exactly as planned, and people who haven’t lived through that tend to struggle when things break, behave differently, or require creative problem solving. Candidates with real migration experience understand that unpredictability is part of the process, and they know how to adapt quickly, troubleshoot on the fly, and keep the project moving forward.
