Junior Software Engineer

Company Overview

We are a trailblazing health tech company on a mission to revolutionize the nursing home & post acute space. Our innovative AI software is transforming the admissions process and care delivery in these settings. We’ve raised $10.35M to date and are experiencing rapid growth. We are looking for a Junior Software Engineer to join our growing team.

About the Role

Organizations switch to ExaCare because their admission processes are broken. They rely on multiple outdated platforms and error-prone manual work to admit residents. This fragmentation wastes time and leads to suboptimal care and business outcomes. We are seeking a high-ownership software engineer to own a full-cycle software development process from design to implementation and maintenance.

What You’ll Do

• Ship user-facing features end-to-end. Partner with our amazing engineering team to scope, build, and release production-ready React screens, REST endpoints, and background services every sprint.
• Own the code you write. Produce clean TypeScript, well-tuned SQL, and thorough automated tests, delivering zero-downtime releases that raise our quality bar.
• Turn workflow pain points into product wins. Immerse yourself in the admissions journey and translate insights into intuitive UI flows and dependable backend logic that delight customers.
• Build internal tools that multiply velocity. Create dashboards, feature-flag systems, and dev-ops automations that let the whole team ship faster with total confidence.
• Invent the future of admissions. Prototype, iterate, and launch bold new capabilities that redefine how post-acute facilities fill beds and get paid.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in computer science or similar technical field
• Self-starter – you are comfortable rapidly learning new technologies and turning a high-level task into a game plan
• 1-4 years of engineering experience with a focus on building highly scalable distributed systems
• Demonstrated ability to triage and prioritize production incidents efficiently
• Ownership mentality and resourcefulness
• Organized, high attention to detail, with emphasis on quality code, automation, validation and testing
• Experience with AWS, LLMs, TypeScript, PostgreSQL
• Strong ability to translate technical concepts into accessible language for cross-functional teams and stakeholders
• Experience with building automated workflows

Benefits and Perks

• Competitive salary and equity in a high-growth startup
• Paid time off at your discretion
• Optional to be fully remote or work hybrid if based in Toronto (Queen / Spadina)
• Medical, dental and vision coverage
• Great start-up culture (e.g., Cursor, ChatGPT premium, company off-site)
