Job description

Petal is a leading Canadian healthcare orchestration and billing company that revolutionizes healthcare systems to make them agile, efficient, and resilient by enabling the forecasting and shaping of world‑class healthcare through Healthcare BI, advanced analytics, and informed insights.

The Petal Medical Billing division offers an innovative medical billing solution, enabling healthcare professionals, medical clinics, and billing agency partners to benefit from a distinctive synergy of expertise and technology.

Our commitment to fostering an exceptional workplace culture has earned us notable recognitions, including being listed as a Great Place to Work in both the technology and healthcare sectors. Join us in our mission to empower healthcare innovators and improve healthcare differently.

Let’s talk tech stack

The team you will join works with a modern, cloud‑centric stack built around TypeScript and Node.js, leveraging NestJS for backend services and Angular for rich, highly interactive frontend experiences.

We are a SaaS company focused on implementing best‑in‑class DevOps practices. Our infrastructure is fully cloud‑based and defined as code with Terraform. Our most recent applications are containerized and deployed with Kubernetes. Deployment automation is a top priority, and we leverage different platforms, including GitLab and Argo CD, to achieve this.

Our applications interact with PostgreSQL databases and run in a distributed, containerized environment and we deploy on Azure and AWS.

What you can expect when joining the team

Reporting to the Software Development Manager, you will play a key role in the development team for Petal Medical Billing, a product that helps thousands of healthcare workers simplify and automate their billing.

You will work closely with your teammates to build new features, maintain existing ones, and ensure their evolution in a sustainable and scalable way.

Your day to day

You will be led to:

• Collaborate closely with the Staff Developer, Product Owner, and other multidisciplinary team members to ensure progress and milestone delivery;
• Design and implement new features and contribute to writing automated tests;
• Participate in code reviews with your peers;
• Ensure code quality and security while respecting development standards;
• Monitor features in production, identify potential issues, assess risks, and take the necessary actions.

Your profile

Are you an experienced, versatile, and motivated developer known for your constructive attitude, strong work ethic, and both technical and soft skills? Do you enjoy staying up to date, working with a wide range of technologies, and thriving in a fast‑paced environment? We’d love to hear from you if you have:

• 6+ years of software development experience;
• Experience developing large‑scale distributed systems with multiple data sources and business logic layers;
• Experience working with large, long‑standing codebases;
• Excellent programming skills in TypeScript/JavaScript with Node.js, ideally with NestJS or similar backend frameworks;
• Experience building REST APIs and understanding of different types of interservice communication;
• Experience with modern front‑end frameworks, Angular is ideal, React or similar;
• Experience working with PostgreSQL or other relational databases;
• Strong knowledge of best practices for application security;
• Experience with alerting, logging, and monitoring (ELK, Grafana, Prometheus, Sentry, Datadog, New Relic);
• Experience deploying containerized applications (Docker) in modern distributed environments (Kubernetes);
• Experience with CI/CD (GitLab, Jenkins, GitHub Actions), automation, and modern infrastructure‑as‑code concepts (Helm, Terraform);
• Knowledge of cloud platforms (Azure preferred, AWS, or GCP);
• A demonstrated interest in sharing knowledge and mentoring less‑experienced developers;
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to diverse stakeholders;
• Knowledge of combinatorial optimization and operations research (an asset);
• Knowledge of the FHIR standard (an asset);
• Familiarity with the Quebec and Canadian healthcare ecosystem (an asset).

Petal’s position on remote working

In our opinion, a company cannot claim to be modern, innovative and have the well‑being of their team at heart, without attempting to integrate remote working to the level that their business model allows them to. Petal employees continue to benefit from the option of teleworking up to the maximum flexibility permitted by the nature of the position and the smooth running of operations.

Our benefits

• Recurring hybrid work allowance;
• Compensation that recognizes your contribution;
• 4 to 6 weeks of paid vacation per year;
