Staff Software Engineer, Product Platform (Canada)

Included Health is building a next generation healthcare technology and is looking for an experienced platform engineer to join the Application Platform team. The Application Platform team builds the product foundations that allow for rapid development of products across engineering with a consistent user experience, and scalable and reliable architecture. The focus here is to solve those customer problems that require product thinking, combined with the backend skills to build out the necessary heavy-duty infrastructure.

You are a strong cross-functional technical leader that can build software that meets the highest standards in quality, scalability and reliability. You will be working across all engineering teams, Front End, Mobile and Backend, and collaborating with the Engineering Manager to define and execute a multi-year vision. You will be expected to break down and execute large projects with the Product Platform team. This is a great opportunity to have a broad-sized impact across the Company fostering collaboration between Product and Infrastructure Orgs and unlocking our Product-facing engineering teams to focus on powering member experiences.

We are a fast, hard-working group with diverse backgrounds and deeply committed to our mission and our members. We believe shipping 80% of the value faster and learning is the best way to maximize impact. We also recognize that we won’t get technology, tooling or processes right on our first try and seek ways to continuously improve ourselves. We believe success comes from optimizing for the whole and welcome everyone’s ideas to the table. We focus on intentional growth so we can expand our skills and apply them to accomplish new goals. We are dedicated to helping each other be our best.
