Job description

Dialogue’s Mobile and Web application is used by millions of Canadians. The team responsible for its development is looking for a Staff Software Developer to join and help evolve the main point of entry for the services that power Dialogue’s software products.

About the Development team

Dialogue’s Integrated Health Platform️ supports the health and wellness of millions of people across 49,000+ organizations. We operate a reliable, highly available, multi-tenant software architecture that powers several white-label mobile applications for our members, as well as desktop software used by our operations team to deliver care.

More broadly, the Member Experience group is responsible for our members' entire journey, from the moment they obtain access to Dialogue to the resolution of a health problem and the improvement of their quality of life. To continuously improve the member experience, we strive to understand our members' needs, goals, motivations, and challenges and develop plans that account for their current solutions. Our teams work together to develop solutions that create the best possible experience for our members.

What you’ll be doing:

1. Writing and supporting a leading-edge unified codebase React-Native mobile and web application
2. Understanding the experience of end-user problems defined by the product manager
3. Working in a traditional scrum team that delivers solutions and user journeys incrementally, coaching more junior software developers
4. Drafting and reviewing technical design documents and architecture
5. Defining plans to manage and reduce technical debt and contributing to its implementation

We'd love to hear from you if you :

1. Have 5+ years of relevant professional experience in consumer or business mobile application development.
2. Proficiency in Python, PostgreSQL, and AWS services is important for backend and full-stack profiles.
3. A B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in computer science or a related technical field is a plus.
4. Have a burning desire to make an impact while having fun solving complex challenges with your teammates!

You’ll work on React Native and Expo based mobile apps, Python APIs backed by PostgreSQL, and contribute to AWS infrastructure with Terraform. It helps if you’ve worked with any of these technologies in the past, but it’s not a requirement – we’ll help bring you up to speed!

What it's like to be part of Dialogue Engineering

Empowered teams. Our teams own objectives, not projects. This means that your team is empowered to creatively engineer solutions rather than just implement someone else’s ideas. Dialogue engineers regularly meet with stakeholders to learn about their needs, collect feedback, and collaboratively iterate on the product.

Fast development cycles. We’ve built mature continuous integration pipelines and automated testing to drive quick cycles, readable code reviews, and low defect rates. Simple web and backend changes can be verified and safely shipped to production in minutes, while our mobile apps and care platform maintain a working pre-prod branch and a tight release schedule.

DevOps mindset. Our applications are deployed to an auto-scaling Kubernetes cluster on AWS defined with infra-as-code. We are constantly working to secure, standardize, and improve our infrastructure, tooling, and tech stack. At Dialogue, the “right” way is often the same as the “easy” way.

How we hire engineers

Our method is geared to find a candidate who will enjoy their day-to-day work, share our values, and enrich our culture. During the hiring process, we’ll expose you to the type of work you’ll actually be doing every day and give you opportunities to speak with your future peers and leaders. Take a look at the step-by-step hiring process on our careers page.

At Dialogue, your well-being is our priority

Taking care of others also means taking care of our team. We’ve got you covered!

• A fully funded benefits plan, including a wellness reimbursement program
• Unlimited access to a variety of Dialogue’s programs for you and your immediate family
• 4 weeks of vacation, 9 wellness days and 1 paid volunteer day
• A hybrid work approach that involves 3 days per week in our beautiful Montreal or Toronto offices
• Access to a custom learning program, including an allocated budget for continuous external training
• Short and long-term incentive plans (on applicable roles)
• An optional parental benefits program
• Qualifying permanent and part-time employees are eligible for a Group Retirement Savings Program (GRSP) with a matching employer contribution from their first day at Dialogue, in accordance with policy terms
