Job description

Location: Saskatoon, SK and Whitecap, SK (on-premise)

Every community should be able to access the care, expertise and innovation it needs. Yet promising ideas and capabilities often sit across different organizations, priorities and systems, making them difficult to put into practice.

Virtual Health Hub (VHH) is a healthcare systems integrator and innovation catalyst. We connect people, community knowledge, clinical expertise, research, education, technology and infrastructure around real healthcare needs. Working with communities and partners, we help turn promising ideas into coordinated, workable models of care and build evidence about the value they create.

VHH is continuing to build the partnerships, processes and organizational capacity needed to do this work well. Joining us now means contributing to that development while helping create practical improvements for communities, care teams and the healthcare system.

Why VHH?

At VHH, integration is the innovation. We bring together capabilities that already exist so they can create more value together.

Our work begins with community and healthcare needs, and we utilize technology to help us deploy our services. We collaborate with communities, clinicians, healthcare organizations, researchers, educators, governments, funders, industry and other partners to help innovation move from an idea into everyday practice.

As a member of VHH, you will have the opportunity to:

• Contribute to work intended to improve access, capacity and care closer to home.
• Help diverse organizations and areas of expertise work toward shared healthcare outcomes.
• Turn complex challenges into clear decisions and practical next steps.
• Build the structures, relationships and evidence needed for promising models of care to be adopted and sustained.
• Help shape a growing organization and the way it works.

We are building a workplace grounded in openness, accountability, shared decisions and respectful challenge. Our environment continues to evolve, so employees need to be comfortable asking questions, creating structure and adapting as the work develops.

The Opportunity

At VHH, technology is a means of improving how healthcare is delivered. As a Full-Stack Software Developer, you will support and enhance VHH's portfolio of digital health tools, and design and build new ones. Reporting to the Director of IT & Digital Innovation, you'll collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of IT professionals, clinical specialists, and subject matter experts to ensure our tools fulfill their clinical purpose while meeting the highest standards for security and reliability.

This role matters because the tools you support and build directly affect the health and wellbeing of the people and communities we serve. Your work will help VHH reimagine how people access care to meaningfully improve health outcomes throughout the province.

What You'll Do:

• Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain full-stack web applications, including responsive front-end interfaces (React) and backend services and APIs (Node.js).
• Design and implement secure integrations with internal systems, third-party platforms, and healthcare applications to support clinical, administrative, research, and operational workflows.
• Collaborate with healthcare professionals and other stakeholders to translate user and business needs into technical requirements.
• Develop, deploy, and support applications hosted primarily on AWS, using cloud services for hosting, identity management, storage, databases, monitoring, and backup/disaster recovery.
• Build and maintain automated testing and CI/CD pipelines.
• Develop and integrate AI-enabled features, including large language models, machine learning models, document processing, and transcription, using AWS AI/ML services.
• Design and manage SQL and NoSQL databases, including schemas, queries, indexes, and migrations.
• Implement secure authentication, authorization, encryption, secrets management, logging, and auditing in line with organizational privacy, security, and healthcare requirements.
• Troubleshoot application, database, integration, and deployment issues; participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and release planning.
• Maintain technical documentation and evaluate new tools, frameworks, and services as needed.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, software engineering, information technology, or a related field.
• An equivalent combination of education and substantial hands-on experience may be considered.
• Experience building front-end applications with React (or a comparable framework) and backend APIs with Node.js (or a comparable framework).
• Experience deploying and supporting production applications on AWS.
• Experience working with both SQL and NoSQL databases.
• Experience with Git-based source control, automated testing, and CI/CD practices.
• Strong understanding of secure software development, including authentication, authorization, encryption, logging, and auditing, and the ability to handle confidential and sensitive information.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and communication skills, with the ability to work independently across multiple technical priorities.
