ENGINEER IV - HYBRID
About The Position
We are seeking a highly skilled, motivated, and experienced Software Engineer to join our Engineering team. As a Software Engineer IV in GreenShield Labs, you will have the opportunity to work on the new Green Shield+ One Platform team, contributing to the development of innovative software solutions. At GreenShield, we're on a mission to deliver "coverage and care, all in one place." As the first organization in Canada to be both a 'payer' (offering insurance and administering benefits) and a 'provider' (offering health services like mental health and pharmacy), we're uniquely positioned to simplify healthcare access and improve health outcomes for all Canadians. GreenShield Labs is the dedicated technology team building the future of that mission: GreenShield+. This digital platform is our cornerstone for creating a connected and personalized healthcare experience. The One Platform team that you’ll be joining is the benefits administration team inside of GreenShield+. As a non-profit, our success isn't measured in shareholder value, but in the real-world impact we create by reinvesting our earnings into community health initiatives. We launched GreenShield+ in early 2025, and we're just getting started. We are looking for an experienced Software Engineer to join our team and take a leading role in building what comes next. You won't just be maintaining legacy code; you'll be developing critical, net-new features from the ground up.
