Our mission is to create better health for allCanadians, and we know that starts with our employees. CAD $114,992.00 - 143,740.00 As a Staff Engineer, you will be a technical leader responsible for solution design, architecture, and the reliable operation of services across the digital health ecosystem. You will work across teams, products, and lines of businessto make sure important decisions are coherent, scalable, and grounded in the needs of members and customers.

Writing code remains part of the work, but your highest-leverage contribution will often be clarifying ambiguous problems, shaping technical direction, mentoring engineers, improving engineering practices, and helping teams make better decisions earlier. Lead solution design and architecture for complex full stack systems, balancing customer impact, operational risk, delivery speed, maintainability, and long-term platform health. Own technical outcomes through production, including system behavior, observability, incident response, performance, reliability, maintainability, and continuous improvement.

Work across teams to align technical direction, clarify ownership, identify dependencies, and ensure GreenShield's digital health services evolve as a coherent ecosystem. Establish metrics, instrument systems, and use data to guide decisions, evaluate trade-offs, validate assumptions, and improve outcomes. Lead technical discovery and planning for ambiguous or high-impact initiatives, including requirements clarification, estimates, risks, trade-offs, architecture options, and execution plans.

Drive improvements to API design, automated testing, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure,



data flows, service reliability, and developer workflows. Partner effectively with Product, Design, Data, Security, Operations, and engineering leadership to align on goals, surface risks early, and make trade-offs explicit. 10+ years of experience building and operating software systems, with significant experience across modern web applications, backend services, APIs, databases, cloud environments, and production operations. Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Solid full stack engineering experience with technologies such as TypeScript, Node.Js, React, PostgreSQL, RESTful APIs, and cloud platforms. Direct experience with GCP, NestJS, NextJS, or similar technologies is an asset, but broader technical judgment is more important than exact stack match. Demonstrated experience delivering and operating customer-facing systems at meaningful scale, with accountability for reliability, quality, security, performance, and customer experience.

Proven ability to lead complex technical initiatives across teams, from problem definition and architecture through implementation, launch, and production ownership. Solid technical judgment and the ability to make decisions using evidence. You define metrics, instrument systems, analyze production behavior, and adjust based on what the data shows.

Strong customer focus, with a track record of measuring success by the experience delivered rather than the amount of work produced. Demonstrated ability to mentor and coach senior, intermediate,



and junior engineers while raising the quality of technical discussion and execution across the team. Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence cross-functional partners and align teams around clear goals, trade-offs, risks, and decisions.
