Project / Program Context The Government of Alberta is undertaking major modernization initiatives that are transforming how ministry users collect, manage, analyze, and utilize data as legacy systems transition to modern Data Management and Geospatial Platforms. The Digital Regulatory Assurance System (DRAS) is a Government of Alberta regulatory transformation initiative led by Environment and Protected Areas (EPA). DRAS is designed to modernize, digitize, and streamline environmental and natural resource regulatory processes across the full regulatory lifecycle, from application and authorization through monitoring, compliance, remediation, and closure.

As DRAS continues to evolve, the volume, variety, and complexity of data are increasing. This creates an ongoing need for strong data integration capabilities to ensure seamless movement, transformation, consolidation, and availability of trusted information across legacy and modern platforms.

The Talend Integration Analyst will design, build, operate, and support data integration solutions on the Government of Alberta’s Talend Integration Platform. The role will support integration across ministry systems, cloud services, analytics environments, databases, APIs, and operational systems.

This position will primarily support the DRAS program, with the potential to contribute to additional enterprise data initiatives.
