Senior Software Developer

At Thrive Health, we’re on a mission to make healthcare work better for Canada. Our digital care coordination platform connects people, data, and care across the entire health journey – empowering individuals and health professionals alike.

As an AI-first company, we’re building products that place people at the centre of care by enhancing care delivery, improving patient experiences, and helping clinicians focus on what matters most.

If you’re passionate about improving the healthcare system, bring an ambitious and creative spirit to complex tasks, and “thrive” in a fast-paced, start-up environment, you’ve come to the right place.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a Senior Software Developer to join our Technology Operations team to help design, build, and run the products that drive our success. You'll spend most of your time on software development, but you'll also be involved in planning, testing, operations, and support as part of our frequent release cycle. This is a role for someone who thinks strategically and can pinpoint the trade-offs between different approaches. You will own large areas of functionality, understanding its behaviours at a deep level and how it interacts with other systems.
