RAVL helps technologists accelerate their careers.

At RAVL, we connect strategy with execution, care deeply about the people we work with, and measure success by the lasting impact we leave behind. Our purpose is to build a team that puts real, sustainable business outcomes at the core of everything we do.

We’re here to leave our clients better than we found them, and to create a place where our people are proud to Build. Better.

• Integrate with cloud‑native services and automate deployment through CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure‑as‑code
• Collaborate with frontend, platform, and data engineers to deliver complete, reliable solutions
• Participate in code and design reviews - raising quality through thoughtful feedback and shared learning
• Demonstrate ownership and urgency in delivery – communicating risks early, iterating visibly, and focusing on outcomes
• At higher levels: mentor peers, contribute to architectural decisions, and influence technical direction within your team

• Understanding of CI/CD, testing automation, observability, and infrastructure‑as‑code
• Working knowledge of databases (SQL/NoSQL), caching, and data access patterns
• A collaborative mindset – comfortable discussing trade‑offs and seeking the best path to value
• Consulting excellence: clear communication, prioritization, and adaptability in changing client environments

Mindset Traits

• Delivery‑first – focused on outcomes that create visible client value
• Curious and pragmatic – loves learning, but knows when to ship
• Collaborative – thrives on feedback, teamwork, and shared accountability
• Influential – able to simplify complexity and build alignment across teams

Technical Skills

• Languages: Java, C#, Go, Python, or TypeScript (Node.js)
• Frameworks & Tooling: Spring Boot, .NET Core, Express/Fastify, gRPC, REST, OpenAPI

• Cloud Platforms: AWS, Azure, or GCP (at least two preferred)
• Security & Compliance: IAM, encryption in transit and at rest, RBAC, secure API design

Why join RAVL?

• Flexible, client‑aligned work model – autonomy with accountability, adapting to client delivery needs
• Variable bonus & RRSP contributions tied to performance and delivery impact
• 4 weeks paid time off (plus public holidays)
• Paid professional development days and continuous learning opportunities
• Comprehensive health & dental coverage, including mental health support
• Commitment to lifelong learning – continuous improvement through training, mentorship, and certification
