Software Developer

Position Summary

The Software Engineering department is looking for a Software Developer.

Our Electronic Medical Record (EMR) software Accuro®EMR has the largest adoption in Canada and serves thousands of providers and millions of patients. Our patient platform Medeo leverages that market penetration and connects patients to their healthcare providers. Our other supporting products round out a robust offering, connecting healthcare providers to their patients, their data and each other. As we continue to build up new and exciting interactions between our products and other healthcare organizations in the industry, we are looking for a passionate leader who is motivated to be an integral driver of innovation in healthcare technologies in Canada.

As the ideal Software Developer candidate, you've had the opportunity to establish a technical foundation that allows you to quickly navigate new and existing code bases. You enjoy working as a part of a team, are motivated by working towards shared goals, but can be counted on to work independently on your portion of the solution. Through your past experiences, you've gained the ability to recognize patterns and traps that lead to poor outcomes and quality, and you are excited by the opportunity to share your knowledge with others on the team. As a life-long learner, you enjoy refining your skills and expanding your knowledge, and you are motivated by the opportunity to improve.

Success as a Software Developer is achieved by consistently contributing to the teams' shared goals. You balance speed with quality, and you recognize that your success is directly linked to the success of your peers.
