Software Developer

Join us as we change healthcare for the better. OceanMD, a WELL Health Company, is the leading provider of EMR-integrated Patient Engagement and eReferral tools in Canada, playing a critical role in millions of patient visits and thousands of referrals every week. Our digital healthcare solutions empower patients and physicians to overcome the barriers preventing the timely delivery of healthcare services. By replacing paper forms with digital tools, we give patients and providers secure ways to connect, share health information, and update patient records. Our tools: • Empower patients to share health information with their physician before, during, and after visits, helping to ensure health records are up-to-date and accurate while improving patient care. • Meet the growing demand for digital solutions with online booking and secure messaging that improves the patient’s experience, reduces the need for unnecessary phone calls, and makes clinics more efficient. • Improve access to care by replacing faxes, displaying wait times, and reducing the time to process and access specialist referrals. Who we need Reporting to the Vice President, Research and Development, we are hiring a Software Developer. As our new Software Developer, you will build and enhance the health technology that helps physicians and patients connect more efficiently, with a particular focus on patient engagement and eReferral solutions. Working as part of a collaborative, high-trust development team, you will contribute throughout the software development lifecycle - from sprint planning and solution design to implementation, code review, and delivery - while helping shape thoughtful, scalable solutions that directly support better healthcare experiences across Canada. Working within a structured three-week sprint cycle, you will collaborate closely with product managers and fellow developers to deliver reliable, high-quality software while contributing ideas that strengthen both the product and the team. Success in this role means more than writing great code; it means contributing to the team's shared technical direction, supporting your teammates, and continuously learning as you help advance OceanMD's mission. This is a full-time hybrid role based in Toronto, with an expectation of working in the office three days per week, supported by a high-trust, flexible approach to hybrid work. What’s in it for you Purpose. You want your work to have a meaningful impact beyond the code you write. Every feature you build contributes to improving how patients access care and how healthcare providers connect, communicate, and share information. Your work will help power technology used in millions of patient interactions across Canada, supporting faster referrals, better patient engagement, and a more connected healthcare system. A collaborative engineering culture. You will join a close-knit team that values curiosity, trust, and shared success over individual heroics. Developers work together to solve problems, review each other's code, and step in to help teammates overcome challenges. You'll have the opportunity to contribute ideas, influence technical decisions, and learn from experienced developers who are invested in helping each other grow. Monthly learning days provide dedicated time to explore new technologies, experiment with ideas, and share knowledge with the wider team. Growth and ownership. You won't be limited to implementing tickets. You'll contribute throughout the software development lifecycle, from shaping technical approaches with product managers to delivering production-ready features. As you demonstrate your capabilities, you'll earn greater ownership over increasingly complex initiatives, not through titles alone, but through trust, autonomy, and opportunities to lead larger technical challenges. If you're motivated by becoming a stronger engineer, you'll find an environment that actively invests in your growth through mentorship, monthly learning days, and personalized development plans. How you will make an impact • Build software that improves access to healthcare. You will design, develop, and enhance features that support OceanMD's patient engagement and eReferral platform, creating secure, reliable, and scalable solutions that help patients and healthcare providers connect more effectively. Working across the software development lifecycle, you will contribute from design through implementation and delivery, helping advance technology used in millions of patient interactions across Canada. • Collaborate to deliver high-quality solutions. You will work within three-week Agile sprints, partnering with developers and product managers to turn priorities into well-designed, thoughtfully implemented features. You will actively participate in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, code reviews, and testing, helping maintain the high quality and reliability of our platform while putting team success ahead of individual tasks by helping teammates overcome blockers and sharing responsibility for every sprint commitment. • Contribute to technical decisions. You will do more than implement requirements. Working with product managers and fellow developers, you will help shape technical approaches, contribute ideas during sprint planning, participate in collaborative solution design, and refine ideas through discussion and feedback. You'll be encouraged to ask questions, challenge assumptions constructively, and help improve the architecture, performance, and maintainability of the platform. • Learn, experiment, and share knowledge. You'll have dedicated monthly learning days to explore technologies, investigate new ideas, or build projects that interest you. Rather than treating learning as an individual activity, you'll share what you've discovered with the wider team, helping everyone continuously improve while expanding your own technical expertise. What you bring • The development experience. You have experience building and delivering software in a collaborative product environment, contributing across the software development lifecycle from design through implementation, testing, and release. You are comfortable taking ownership of your work, solving problems independently, and collaborating with others to deliver high-quality solutions. Experience building SaaS products or healthcare technology is valuable, but we're equally interested in developers who have built strong engineering fundamentals in other product environments and enjoy learning new technologies. • The technical foundation. You have strong object-oriented programming fundamentals and experience building modern web applications. While experience with Java, Spring, JavaScript, Vue.js, or MongoDB is valuable, you're able to explain the concepts behind the technologies you've used and apply those principles in unfamiliar environments. You care about writing maintainable code, participating in thoughtful code reviews, and building reliable software. Experience using AI-assisted development tools is welcome, but you're confident relying on your engineering fundamentals, not AI, to solve complex technical problems. • The collaborative approach. You genuinely believe the success of the team comes before individual accomplishments. You're quick to help teammates when they're stuck, comfortable asking for help yourself, and enjoy solving problems together rather than independently. You welcome feedback, contribute ideas during design discussions, and understand that the strongest solutions are built collaboratively. • The mindset. You're naturally curious and motivated by continuous improvement. Rather than relying on familiar approaches, you're excited to explore new technologies, investigate better ways of solving problems, and share what you've learned with others. Most importantly, you're motivated by building technology that improves healthcare a
