Amr Ibrahim, Senior Software Developer

Amr Ibrahim, senior software developer based in OneSpan’s Montreal office  

What is your role at OneSpan?

I’m a Senior Software Developer at OneSpan. In my role, I spend time working on cloud-based projects getting our next generation e-signature solution, OneSpan Sign, into production. In terms of the day to day, that largely relates to writing code, deployments, and working with the team to prioritize work. I also leverage my experience to help mentor other developers at OneSpan.  

How did you get into the role you are in today?

I was born in Egypt, raised in Kuwait, and studied supply chain management in England. But while working in the field, I found a passion for coding and scripting and decided to change careers and go back to school. After moving and working in Canada, I decided to study software development at McGill University. It was a job fair at the University where I learned about OneSpan and applied for a job as a developer. This summer marks my two-year anniversary at OneSpan. 

Why do you like working at OneSpan?  

The people, from managers to peers, everyone at OneSpan wants to learn and grow. Our culture at OneSpan is simple – we all succeed together. 

In the tech community, there’s a lot of places to work with several perks, but you can’t create a culture like OneSpan’s. It’s the people that make the company one of the best places to work.  

What drives you at work?  

Cloud-based technologies and IT security are more important than ever in our current digital economy. OneSpan’s solutions have become a necessity for many organizations and financial institutions. The opportunity of not only being able to help shape our solutions but also the industry itself is very exciting. I’m fortunate enough to wake up every day and do what I love.   

What makes our company different from others? 

OneSpan takes people’s career paths seriously. I meet with my manager on a consistent basis to discuss my career path and personal development. I’ve found that this is unique within a global tech company. My colleagues, peers, and management always make time for me. I really value the emphasis that OneSpan has put into creating a culture of mentorship and transparency.  

What are your hobbies/interests?   

Outside of work, you can find me enjoying the outdoors on my mountain bike. I also enjoy painting, listening to live music, and stand-up comedy. I like making people laugh and am working on building up the courage to perform stand-up comedy on stage.
