What if you could personally impact the future of healthcare? As part of the PocketHealth team, you will enable hospitals and clinics across North America — and more importantly, empower over 2 million patients — to discover a better healthcare experience.

PocketHealth is a patient-centric platform that enables hospitals and clinics across North America to share imaging records digitally with patients, instantly and securely. Through our platform, we enable patients to be active and engaged participants in their own care, and take control of their care journey. In addition to image sharing, which is the heart of the PocketHealth platform, we’ve grown our core functionality to enable sharing between hospitals and physicians, as well as instant image retrieval and automated importing capability. PocketHealth is a unified image management solution for over 800 hospitals and clinics across North America. We believe that by placing patients at the center of the record release process, data moves more ethically, easily and securely throughout the care journey, and we’re looking for passionate individuals to help make this vision a reality for millions more patients across North America.

As a Senior Software Engineer on our Patient team, you will have the opportunity to apply your backend or fullstack expertise towards building the next generation of our core infrastructure that will enable thousands of hospitals and clinics — and empower millions of patients — to discover a better healthcare experience. You’ll be joining an experienced, friendly and supportive team of Engineers eager to learn, teach and ultimately make a difference.

In this role on the Patient Core team, you'll build and own the backend services behind the patient experience. These are the systems that get patients their medical imaging records and let them share those records with the doctors who need them next. You will own the architecture, design, development, deployment, and operations of the solutions that you develop. Ideal candidates will possess a high degree of user empathy and a focus on the quality and speed of our product. Patient Core is where the promise of PocketHealth actually lands: a patient gets their scan in minutes instead of driving across the city for a CD. Getting that right at scale — reliably, privately, and fast — is the mandate of this team, and we need your help to bring it to life.

This job posting is for an existing vacancy. The salary range for this position is $140,000 - $170,000 annually, depending on the experience and expertise you bring to the team. Salary is just one part of the story, though; this role is eligible for equity in the form of stock options and includes a comprehensive health and benefits package. We view our compensation as a total investment of your well-being, designed to support you in both your work and your life outside of it.

This is a hybrid position with two days a week in our Toronto office, where we collaborate deeply; the rest is yours to work from wherever you do your best thinking.

Every deployment is different. Healthcare providers run similar systems but operate them in ways that diverge in the details and those details are where automations succeed or fail. We build to fit each client's actual workflows, which means you'll write purpose-built code, own the edge cases, and ship something that genuinely works rather than something that almost works.

AI is a first-class part of how we work. Claude Code, Codex, and AI-assisted development are standard practice at PocketHealth — they're what let us move fast, build with precision, and keep quality high across multiple simultaneous deployments. Our engineers have the agency to advocate for the tools they need to ship with quality and pace, and we're looking for others who bring that same instinct.
