THE POSITION

We’re growing our engineering team in order to scale multiple business lines and enhance access to healthcare for Canadians. We’re looking for passionate developers who want to make an impact and thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with an open culture and flat hierarchy.

At Maple, Senior Back End Developers champion the principles of DevOps and the values of an open source community — automation and a self-serve developer experience are key to our platform's success. We have comprehensive test suites using PHPUnit, Cypress, and k6 load testing, along with branch-level API previews orchestrated through Ansible and Terraform. Our bi-directional OpenAPIs are built with a Documentation-as-Code philosophy to support fast, efficient, and elegant development of features on top of a stable platform.

Beyond your deep technical expertise, your ability to mentor and coach while fostering collaboration among fellow developers will elevate the entire team's capabilities. Through effective communication and collaborative problem-solving within cross-functional teams, you will play a key role in our delivery of successful user-facing products.

Within the first 90 days, you'll immerse yourself in our dynamic technical environment, contributing to the implementation of key features for Maple's web and mobile experience.

Over the next 12 to 18 months, your focus will be on the continued evolution of Maple's virtual healthcare platform.
