What you'll do

At D2L, you will have the opportunity to work with the latest technologies to build highly scalable and fault tolerant systems.

On the front-end we use Polymer and other web frameworks to build engaging and responsive web apps. We also build native mobile apps in Kotlin and Swift.

This role is based on our Custom Development Services team, where you'll have the chance to:
