Original posting

Manulife | Software Engineers | Kitchener/Waterloo/Toronto/Montreal | ONSITE | Full-Time "We're not some old, stuffy insurance company. We're a large company with lots of young talent going through a transformation to be not just a financial company, but a technology company." Personally, I joined Manulife about a year ago based on the above statement, figuring it would be a good opportunity to be a part of some serious change, and so far, it has lived up to my expectations. I'm currently leading an initiative to utilize GraphQL in new and innovative ways (using schema stitching to mix and match APIs as necessary, and developing proxy layers that can alter and augment data as it passes through). This is only one of the many things we are working on: - GraphQL based API infrastructure - React/Relay UIs - Kafka/NiFi for back-end data flow - Cloud Foundry PaaS Our tech stack? JavaScript/TypeScript, .NET Core, Java, Golang, even some Kotlin. Best tool for the job at hand, really.
