  • User Support: Provide day-to-day support and troubleshooting for application-related issues, responding to incident tickets and service requests from internal users.
  • Integration Support: Serve as subject matter experts for managed platforms within integration workflows, collaborating with integration teams to troubleshoot, escalate, and resolve data flow issues.

  • Incident Management: Assist with troubleshooting and resolving system errors, providing timely updates, and following up with relevant parties to resolve incidents effectively.
  • Enterprise Systems Thinking: Approaches problem-solving with an architectural mindset, considering upstream/downstream impacts, integration dependencies, and long-term scalability rather than addressing issues in isolation.

View company profile

What began in 1999, not in a garage, but in an un-airconditioned bedroom in founder John Baker's parents' house, has evolved into D2L, a global learning innovation company. Baker, then a twenty-two-year-old student at the University of Waterloo, embarked on this journey with a clear vision: to transform the way the world learns. He recognized that education was the bedrock of all progress and achievement, and that technology could unlock entirely new possibilities for both teachers and learners. This initial spark was fueled by a desire to make a significant impact, to help millions, and potentially billions, of learners reach their full potential. The early years were not without challenges; less than a decade after its inception, D2L, then known as Desire2Learn, faced a patent-infringement lawsuit from a much larger competitor, Blackboard. This period tested the company's resilience but ultimately solidified its commitment to innovation and an open approach to learning technology.

Over the subsequent years, D2L steadily grew, driven by a mission to provide high-quality education for everyone, irrespective of age, ability, or location. The company expanded its offerings and global footprint, partly through strategic acquisitions like Captual Technologies, Metranome, Degree Compass, Wiggio, and Knowillage Systems, which enhanced its technological capabilities in areas such as rich media, mobile video, predictive analytics, and collaborative learning. A significant milestone was an $80 million Series A funding round, one of Canada's largest tech funding rounds at the time, which enabled further product development and international expansion. D2L's commitment to accessibility was recognized with awards like the Dr. Jacob Bolotin Award from the National Federation of the Blind. The company went public in November 2021, listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Today, D2L's flagship product, Brightspace, is a cloud-based learning platform utilized by millions across K-12, higher education, corporate, and association sectors in over 40 countries. The journey from a student's vision to a publicly traded global company with over 1,000 employees underscores D2L's enduring mission to make learning more inspiring, engaging, and human.
