Job description

Overview

Job Title : Senior Software Engineer (Rails / Ruby)

RBCx powers bold ideas, founders, and technology companies. We know building great businesses takes more than just capital, which is why our four pillars – Banking, Capital, Platform, and Ventures –– combine to make us the go-to backer of Canadian innovation. Dr. Bill is an RBCx Ventures company that is working to take the pain out of medical billing and get doctors paid accurately. We are a high-growth company that currently serves 8,000+ doctors across 3 provinces. You’ll join as an employee of RBC and get all the perks of working for a big company, but with a start-up mindset and the agility to move quickly.

You’ll have a clear view of the product roadmap, the business’ long-term vision, and the opportunity to constructively contribute to both. You’ll interact with product management and design and be able to influence what solutions are chosen to meet customer needs. You’ll lead the planning, design, development, deployment, monitoring, and maintenance of significant portions of the software that supports the chosen solutions. You’ll have the chance to provide and receive feedback from your peers, and coach less experienced engineers both within the team and the broader organization. You’ll use modern tooling throughout, whether that’s something currently part of our stack, or something new that you assess needs to be added to reliably deliver the desired user experience. You’ll enjoy the flexibility, tempo, and ownership of being part of a startup, and the job security of being employed by one of Canada’s most valuable companies. You’ll work with an extremely committed team of colleagues who’re constantly challenging each other, compassionately, and in a transparent, structured way, to get to the next level in our careers.

Responsibilities

• Write high-quality, well-tested code while understanding business needs
• Maintain and ensure high quality software, with accountability for production reliability and usage
• Effectively contribute suggestions and new ideas to improve our platform
• Designing, coding, unit testing and integrating new features and functionality as defined by the PO and team
• Participating in code reviews, architectural planning, and delivery meetings
• Updating progress daily through the tracking tool (Jira) or Kanban board

• Participate in code reviews, architectural planning, and delivery meetings
• You’re a team player, and enjoy collaborating with the product, design, and engineering teams to solve problems
• You learn new concepts quickly (industry, business, and technical)
• You have excellent written and verbal communication skills
• You care deeply about application security and understand the importance of protecting sensitive user data

Nice to Have :

• Post-secondary degree or diploma in computer engineering or equivalent training / experience
• Experience with compliance standards, e.g. ISO 27001 or SOC 2
• Experience building apps in a cloud environment (i.e. Docker / Kubernetes)

• DevOps tools such as Docker, Github, CircleCI

What’s in it for you?

We thrive on the challenge to be our best, progressive thinking to keep growing, and working together to deliver trusted advice to help our clients thrive and communities prosper.
