We’re a growing SaaS company with startup energy, industry respect, and global reach.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to be a driving force on our engineering team as we pivot to an AI-driven, agentic development workflow. Much of our code is PHP but this role will be focused on building in Node.js.
In this role, you will champion high-quality execution by effectively utilizing approved AI tools for implementation planning, code reviews, test generation, and refactoring. This isn't about replacing your engineering judgment; it is about scaling your impact to achieve risk-free velocity.
You will actively contribute to and deliver on:
- Governed AI Adoption: Applying approved AI tools transparently, safely, and in full compliance with company policies.
- Optimized Delivery Flow: Executing tasks with modern efficiency to drive faster PR cycle times, quicker debugging, and tighter feedback loops.
- Reliable Verification: Ensuring all AI-assisted changes you own are rigorously backed by automated tests, review evidence, and clear acceptance criteria before reaching production.
- Production Integrity: Accelerating your delivery output while maintaining a 0% critical-defect rate and upholding top-tier security standards.
Tech Stack & Tools
Backend & Cloud: Node.js (Nestjs), PHP (Laravel), AWS, Microservices, RESTful APIs, SQL/NoSQL.
Frontend: React (Nextjs), modern open-source web technologies.
AI Tooling & Orchestration: Approved AI development tools and model access patterns, Claude via AWS Bedrock, code-review and test-generation agents, prompt/instruction management, evaluation frameworks, RAG/context pipelines, and orchestration tools such as LangChain, Semantic Kernel, or similar.
Key Pillars of Responsibility:
- High-Impact Execution: Implement complex feature development and technical patterns across core PHP/Node services and AWS infrastructure, ensuring scalability and clean design.
- Guardrails & Compliance Adherence: Follow and enforce team-level practices (automated tests, static analysis, security checks) to keep AI and human code safe. Strictly adhere to data compliance policies (PHI, data retention, and auditability).
- AI Workflow Optimization: Contribute to improving our AI-assisted engineering practices. When AI outputs are weak, help optimize repository instructions, prompts, or context sources to prevent recurring errors.
- Peer Collaboration & Mentorship: Pair with and guide mid-level engineers on effective AI orchestration—demonstrating how to break down work, critically review generated code, and apply manual engineering judgment.
- Technical Translation: Partner with the team and Product Owners to convert business requirements and Gherkin/BDD specs into clear technical execution tasks optimized for AI-assisted tools.
Skills & Requirements:
- Core Engineering Expertise: 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with strong technical command of PHP (Laravel) and Node.js.
- Modern Architecture: Solid experience implementing scalable RESTful APIs, distributed microservices, CI/CD pipelines, and optimized databases.
- Agentic Proficiency: Practical, hands-on experience using LLMs and agentic workflows for autonomous code, debugging, and test generation.
- Rigorous Verification: Strong background in automated testing frameworks (e.g., Playwright) and a proven ability to write comprehensive test suites that catch defects early.
- Accountability: A firm "verify output" mindset, taking full personal responsibility for the security, quality, and maintainability of your production code, regardless of how it was generated.
- Communication: Clear verbal and written skills to collaborate effectively with technical teammates and product stakeholders.
Bonus Points:
Experience working within Healthcare IT or Practice Management Software. Side projects, open-source contributions, or courses demonstrating active experimentation with LLM frameworks.
Benefits:
Comprehensive personal health plan (Medical, Dental, Vision). RRSP matching and Internet subsidy. 3+ weeks of paid time off plus paid statutory holidays. Note: This is a fully-remote role but we are only hiring candidates located within British Columbia (BC) or Alberta (AB).
