Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Meroka Careers Full time
This Role Is Not for You If…
  • You avoid ownership of large, complex systems and prefer narrow, isolated tasks
  • You are uncomfortable building in a regulated space like healthcare where security and compliance are non-negotiable
  • You shy away from mentoring or supporting less experienced engineers
  • You wait for direction rather than proactively identifying technical improvements
What You'll Do
  • Design, develop, and maintain scalable, secure backend services powering our healthcare platform
  • Own the full lifecycle of features: design, implementation, deployment, monitoring, and improvement
  • Drive continuous integration and deployment across the platform
  • Contribute to innovation and ongoing performance optimization
  • Ensure code quality with peer reviews, testing, and strong development practices
  • Collaborate with internal and external partners on integrations (EHR, billing, accounting systems)
  • Implement and uphold security and compliance standards (HIPAA, SOC 2, OWASP best practices)
  • Document workflows, share knowledge, and strengthen engineering practices across the team
We're Looking For Someone Who…
  • Is fluent in modern backend programming languages and frameworks (Python, TypeScript, etc.)
  • Has experience with cloud computing platforms (AWS preferred) to build scalable SaaS solutions
  • Brings strong database skills in SQL (e.g., Postgres) and NoSQL systems
  • Brings deep knowledge of secure coding practices (OWASP)
  • Is confident building and integrating APIs for interoperability (FHIR, HL7 a plus)
  • Spots and solves complex technical problems with scalability and performance in mind
  • Understands secure coding practices and compliance in healthcare or other regulated industries
  • Communicates clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Mentors junior engineers and contributes to a strong engineering culture
  • Thrives in a fast-moving environment with high ownership
What We Offer
  • Competitive compensation and health benefits
  • Unlimited vacation and flexible working arrangements
  • The opportunity to shape the backend architecture of a platform restoring humanity in healthcare
  • Ownership of critical technical systems that support independent medical practices
  • A thoughtful, ambitious team that values pragmatism, clarity, and long-term thinking
Additional Notes
  • This role will require occasional travel to the USA and Canada for on-site campaigns, team collaboration, and brand activations. All travel will be coordinated and supported by the Meroka team.
How to Apply
  • Send us your CV and GitHub or code samples. Bonus points if you include a short Loom video introducing yourself and walking us through a system, API, or architecture you've built and are proud of.
