Job description

Staff Software Developer - Insurance Foundations

Join Our Mission : Help the Helpers with Jane

Jane is remote-first, with every role, including this one, remote — giving you the freedom to work from any corner of Canada.

Your Role in Our Journey

As a Staff Developer on Jane's Insurance Foundations team, you'll shape the systems powering our US insurance capabilities. While the team focuses on behavioral health and billing code flows for the US market, your work will influence Jane's long-term insurance strategy across all markets. This is a chance to work on complex backend systems while contributing to architectural direction and mentorship within a team of experienced developers.

You'll partner closely with the Development Manager to guide technical strategy, facilitate cross-team collaboration, and help ensure our platform scales thoughtfully. Staff Developers are leaders who balance deep technical expertise with strong people and communication skills — you'll lead not just by shipping code, but by helping others succeed and fostering a culture of technical excellence.

The Impact You Could Have

• Guide technical direction and architecture: Lead a highly senior development team, mentoring peers and aligning on architectural decisions across the insurance domain with pragmatic domain modeling and system design.
• Simplify the insurance experience: Lead initiatives that make billing codes and claims processing more intuitive for clinics—especially in behavioral health—through thoughtful backend architecture.
• Drive platform evolution: Help decouple Jane's monolithic codebase by identifying opportunities to modularize the platform for scalability and maintainability.
• Collaborate on integrations: Build integrations with third-party vendors (e.g., clearinghouses) to enable seamless electronic claim submissions with careful API design and backend coordination.
• Provide full-stack leadership: Lead backend architecture while contributing to frontend discussions; solid frontend knowledge (e.g., React) supports end-to-end solution design.
• Foster technical culture: Drive internal education through design reviews, documentation, mentorship, and knowledge sharing; establish technical standards and best practices for scalable teams.
• Ensure operational excellence: Champion observability, monitoring, and performance optimization to maintain health and diagnose issues in a growing platform.
• Influence organizational impact: Shape how Jane approaches core insurance domain challenges for the US and beyond.

The Experience We Feel We Need

• A University Degree in Computer Science or related STEM field plus approximately 10+ years of experience. A Master’s or PhD may reduce the experience requirement. Alternatively, candidates with 13+ years of industry experience from non-traditional paths (bootcamps or self-teaching) are encouraged to apply.
• Depth and diversity of experience at the Staff level, across multiple products and companies, with strong problem-solving and collaboration abilities.
• Strong backend design experience with a pragmatic scaling approach. Rails experience is highly valued but not required; great developers can learn any stack with proper support.
• Ability to model complex business domains into scalable, maintainable architectures.
• Frontend knowledge (preferably React) to contribute to full-stack discussions and alignment.
• Extensive ownership of design and architecture across multiple teams with alignment to organizational goals.
• Experience creating and upholding technical standards and culture-building practices across teams.
• A desire to stay involved in coding while leading teams through technical challenges.
• Strong communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders; collaboration with Product Managers and Designers is essential.
• Experience driving internal education through design reviews, presentations, documentation, or mentorship programs.
• We commonly work with Ruby on Rails; experience with other OOP languages (Java, C#, Python, etc.) is welcome, with ramp-up support provided.
