Job description

WHO WE ARE
When it comes to health, we’re always looking for ways to push for better. It’s why we were founded in the first place. In 1957, our founder, pharmacist William Wilkinson, witnessed a mother sacrifice her health by forgoing her own medicine to pay for her sick daughter’s prescription. He knew there had to be a better way. So, he introduced North America’s first prepaid drug plan, and GreenShield was born as a not-for-profit with a mission to support better health for all Canadians.

We aren’t just a health and benefits company. We’re the only not-for-profit social enterprise that brings worlds of coverage and care together, all in one place.
We’re noble challengers, purposefully building a better way and we need the best people to help us create a more holistic approach that takes care of the mind and body.

Our mission is to create better health for all Canadians, and we know that starts with our employees.

THE ROLE IN A NUTSHELL

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Full Stack Software Engineer to join our Engineering team. As a member of GreenShield Labs, you will have the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects iterating on our healthcare application suite, contributing to the development of innovative software solutions.

• Participate in the full development lifecycle – design, development, testing and maintenance of products that meaningfully improve the health and well-being of our clients.
• Investigate, debug and resolve software defects across both front-end and back-end systems.
• Maintain and develop technical documentation.
• Build reusable code and libraries for future use.
• Conduct code reviews and provide feedback to other team members to ensure code quality and adherence to best practices.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional stakeholders (product management, UI/UX designers, client support staff, etc.) and other engineers to plan features, estimate complexity, and develop scalable solutions.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 3+ years of experience working as a Full Stack Engineer.
• Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent.
• Experience building Javascript web applications – we work with Node.js, Typescript, and React.
• Experience deploying and managing applications in a cloud environment; familiarity with GCP is an asset.
• Strong knowledge of relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL).
• Experience with RESTful API design and development.
• Familiarity with Nest JS and NextJS is a plus.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills with the ability to work cross-functionally.
• Self-starter with strong problem-solving skills and the ability to think creatively – eager to share ideas and provide and receive feedback.

THE CULTURE
We believe a career should be meaningful. Not just a means to earn a living. Our culture is one where everyone's voice is heard and valued. Because that’s what it takes to create better health for all. We dare to challenge the status quo. And we’re driven by people who have challenged theirs. We believe that your workplace should empower you to be the best version of yourself. That’s why we provide a place where you can be inspired, challenged, and rewarded.

Where your growth means our growth.
Where your voice is heard and valued.
Where your work has purpose. And purpose matters.

We believe our people are critical to our overall success. Inclusivity makes us a stronger, smarter and more informed organization. Being intentionally inclusive of diverse backgrounds, perspectives and experiences will enhance our company culture to positively impact how we support our communities. A career at GreenShield isn’t just about personal achievements, it's about making a difference together.

Here’s to Better Health for All!
