Main Responsibilities for Cognos Analytics Web Application Developer include:

Businesses are generating enormous amounts of data. Analytics are the brains that turn all that raw data into actionable information. Our Cognos Analytics product offers smart, self-service capabilities so clients can identify and act on this information. We pride ourselves in using emerging technologies to provide beautiful interactive visualizations, as well as cognitive and contextual computing to empower our business users.

The Cognos Analytics teams include several Client User Interface development teams for Dashboards, Administration, Data Modeling, and other feature teams with expertise in Web Application Development.

You can find all of our developers, designers and product managers working away at the Riverside building in Ottawa. Our team is organized into sub-teams who own different parts of the product and work like mini “startups.” Together, they make the magic happen; continuously shipping awesome features to our clients.
Our agile space and tools allow us to collaborate and explore ideas easily. Teams use whiteboard walls, “war” rooms and our state-of-the-art design studio to get things done. However, our “secret sauce” really lies in our awesome people and culture. We enjoy building a quality product, crafting an amazing user experience, and having lots of fun in the process.

Life @ IBM Ottawa:
Head down to our cafeteria where you might find that the recipe for lunch was created by IBM Watson! Get active at the onsite gym - join a yoga session or one of the fitness classes. Take a break in the games room or challenge a colleague to reach the highest score on one of the various game consoles.
Join our new hire group that plans and hosts fun events both internally and in the Ottawa community. Not only is it tons of fun but you can grow your network and be part of change in the workplace.
Outside of our building walls is a thriving tech community home to many young professionals and startups.
