Your first mission is to take full technical ownership of a newly formed team responsible for rebuilding our care delivery system from the ground up - across both Mobile and Web - using modern, cutting-edge technologies. The technical challenges are significant, but the potential human impact is even greater. Define and drive the technical strategy and architecture for our greenfield healthcare platform, making critical decisions on system design and technology choices

Ensure security, compliance, and performance are foundational to all architectural decisions, including data protection, access controls, and audit capabilities
Design data architecture for distributed systems, including consistency models, disaster recovery strategies, and cross-service data synchronization patterns
Design integration strategies across internal tools, external systems, and back-office platforms (e.g., Rx, Salesforce)
Define domain boundaries, decomposition strategies, and architectural patterns
Establish engineering standards for branching, versioning, testing strategies, code quality, and documentation
Partner with DevOps to ensure architectural decisions align with deployment and operational needs
Partner with product and cross-functional teams to translate business needs into technical strategies
A minimum of 8-12 years of software engineering experience
Proven technical leadership experience, including leading architecture and guiding engineering teams
Expertise in building scalable, mission-critical distributed systems
Proficiency in backend development (Java/Spring Boot or equivalent) and modern frontend frameworks (React/React Native or similar)
Experience in data modeling, performance optimization, and choosing appropriate persistence strategies
Excellent communication skills with ability to navigate ambiguity, make decisive recommendations, and drive technical alignment

Experience with healthcare data standards (FHIR, HL7v2, EMPI) and understanding of clinical/administrative workflows
Enjoy a competitive salary package, yearly bonus, and full health benefits starting on Day 1
Flexible Work Arrangements: Enjoy remote work if you're outside the GTA, while those in the GTA have the advantage of working in our beautifully renovated office for 2 days between Tuesday to Thursday
Retirement Support: Meaningful Technical Ownership: Take the lead on building core systems from the ground up — your work won’t be a small cog in a big machine
Flexible Hours: We trust you to manage your schedule and deliver results
Shape the Future: Join early, influence key product and cultural decisions, and help build something that matters

A casual Teams call with one of our recruiters to learn more about you, your experience, and what you're looking for. Technical Interview with Hiring Team (90 minutes): A collaborative technical session with the hiring manager and team members. This is also your chance to learn more about the technical vision and ask questions about our stack, processes, and expectations


~ You’ll get insight into how engineering and product collaborate and have an opportunity to ask questions about roadmap and priorities


~ A final discussion with our VP of Health System Partnerships and R&D to talk about culture, vision, and how you’d contribute at a strategic level. We’ll share where the organization is headed and answer any questions about long-term impact and growth


Note: In some cases, we may include an additional technical interview to help finalize our decision.
