Whether you're early in your career or a seasoned expert, AlayaCare offers the opportunity to grow your impact, your skills, and your career.

About the Role

As a Senior Developer, you’ll take the lead in building high-quality, performant features that solve real client problems and stand the test of time. You’ll be deeply involved in scoping and sequencing technical work—exploring solutions, weighing tradeoffs, and making thoughtful decisions that balance short-term needs with long-term maintainability.

Your strong critical-thinking skills and solution-oriented mindset will guide both your individual contributions and your influence across the team. With a focus on continuous delivery, monitoring, and technical excellence, you’ll help ensure that what we build not only works well today but continues to deliver value as we scale.

• Participate in and contribute to code reviews to improve your skills in the areas of component reuse, extensibility, maintainability and scalability.
• Contribute to implementing the product-wide technical roadmap, ensuring the success of technical cross-team initiatives.
• Plan, implement and execute automated tests that validate good quality results.
• Monitor your applications in production and proactively identify and fix issues clients are encountering.
• Participate in setting the product-wide technical roadmap, ensuring the success of technical cross-team initiatives and responsible adoption of new technologies and industry trends.
• Identify gaps in product requirements and work with Product and your Engineering Manager to design features that meet client needs.
• Help team members understand core concepts and tools of their craft.
• Anticipate problems, recognize barriers, and proactively raise concerns to management and to senior members of the technical organization.
• In the future, participate in an on-call rotation (that respects your time) to support your team\'s software.

What You Bring to the Team

• 4+ years professional software engineering experience.
• Degree or diploma in Computer Science or demonstrated learning experience.
• Development experience with Python and JavaScript (Vue preferred) and corresponding unit testing frameworks.
• Experience with SQL databases and building queries optimised for performance.
• Experience using Git, CI/CD tools, Docker, SQLAlchemy, cloud computing platforms (AWS preferred).
• Appetite for excellence in day-to-day tasks, from coding to writing documentation.
• Experience making difficult technical decisions in ambiguous situations.
• Excellent analytical, strategic thinking, and problem-solving abilities.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills (in written and spoken English) targeting both technical and non-technical audiences.
• French is considered an asset.
