If that sounds like it might be a good fit for you, please keep reading.
About the role
We are currently looking for a Senior Software Developer who loves to code. You're someone who is continuously working on improving their craft and is passionate about their work and the impact it will have.

Finally, you know how to balance providing the best quality work while also meeting tight deadlines.

Writing React.js components and/or Node.js functions using Typescript
Participating in the planning, creation and execution of automated test cases and load/performance testing (unit testing)
Benchmarking and optimizing code for maximum speed and scalability
Translating prototypes, mockups and designs into high-quality code
Actively contributing to all product decisions and ensuring the technical feasibility of each design
Participating in software design and code reviews to ensure a high level of software quality and to share knowledge with team members
Actively contributing to the continual improvement of process and product
Collaborating with other teams and stakeholders
Helping you grow & succeed
At Welbi, we truly believe in empowering each member of our team to help them grow both professionally and personally. This means that you will:
Make a Difference: Your work matters. You’ll be free from bureaucracy and unnecessary paperwork to focus on impacting as many seniors' lives as possible.
Grow & Learn: You’ll have the opportunity for endless career growth. To set you up for success, you’ll have access to internal and external resources, mentorship, and workshops.
Be Heard & Have A Say: You will have space to voice your ideas and opinions to make changes. We are all part of the Welbi decision-making process.
Meet Friends for Life: Being on such a small team, we’re close-knit. We genuinely care about each other and celebrate our successes together.
What we offer
Competitive salary, based on extensive external benchmarking.
Two (2) Weeks of vacation, used anytime.
Five (5) days for personal use, including sickness, wellness, and family needs.
Five (5) days of office closure, during the holiday season.
Health benefits from Day 1, so you don’t need to wait to go to your dentist appointment.
Remote-first hybrid environment; we have team members spread across Canada and an office in Ottawa when you need it.
Flexible working style that focuses on productivity and results, not the amount of time you’re online. If you communicate, attend your meetings, and perform your job, we don’t care where it happens.
Employee ownership As a startup, we know how important every hire we make is at this stage. After 4 months of employment, our Board of Directors grants every employee Options in Welbi.
Mentorship & professional development to help you stay a subject matter expert in your field via guidance from industry leaders, as well as comprehensive external programs and peer groups with incubators like Invest Ottawa and MaRS.
Autonomy & impact is prevalent at all levels of Welbi. There are no cogs in our wheels — everyone is included in discussions that impact their role and has the opportunity to speak their minds.
A culture beyond words on a wall with an emphasis on bringing the team together every single month for company-wide social events & lunches, team socials, quarterly cultural awards, and a constant emphasis on growth & development.
What you bring
A significant expertise in any of the following: React.js, Node.js, Express.js, and Typescript
Thorough experience in modern CSS layouts and a passion for learning new patterns
Familiarity and experience with RESTful APIs
A history of writing reliable, well-tested code
A knack for benchmarking and optimization
Working knowledge of relational databases, using both an object-relational mapping (ORM) and raw SQL
Tell us your favourite animal at the top of the document you submit about why Welbi
Strong opinions on the best solutions (and processes) to build a product and can back them up with facts
Critical thinking and great problem-solving skills
The ability to juggle multiple projects at a time
A self-starter mentality
A great team player
A results-driven attitude
A plus if you also have the following:
Experience with Redux, Nest.js, or other popular React and Express workflows
Working knowledge of GraphQL or willing to learn
Knowledge of modern authorization mechanisms, such as JSON Web Token and OAuth
Experience with common development packages and tools such as Babel, Webpack, NPM, etc.
Expertise in AWS (including ECS, EC2, S3, CloudWatch, etc.)
Past exposure to Prisma
Experience with enterprise system integrations—particularly EHR platforms (e.g., PointClickCare, MatrixCare) and interoperability standards like FHIR—is considered an asset.
Like what you read but not sure if you check ALL of our boxes? We still encourage you to apply. Research shows that female-identifying candidates screen themselves out of consideration and apply to 20% fewer jobs than those who are male-identifying. As an inclusive employer whose team is composed of over 50% female-identifying employees, we value applicants with diverse backgrounds, journeys, and profiles. If you feel like you’d be a good fit, please send us your resume.
