Canada Life Tech Stack
Insurance and wealth management for Canadian individuals and employers
Canada Life operates a large insurance and wealth-management business serving individual and employer clients across Canada and the US. The tech stack reflects a traditional enterprise insurance footprint—Salesforce, SAP, Informatica, and BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, Looker)—with emerging cloud-native infrastructure (Kubernetes, Docker, Istio) and modern data plumbing (Databricks, Kafka). Active hiring in finance, engineering, and data, combined with projects around SAP integration, observability, and container delivery, signals a multi-year infrastructure modernization effort alongside core business initiatives in member retention and litigation efficiency.
