Senior Developer (Back end)

Petal is a leading Canadian healthcare orchestration and billing company that revolutionizes healthcare systems to make them agile, efficient, and resilient by enabling the forecasting and shaping of world-class healthcare through Healthcare BI, advanced analytics, and informed insights.

Our commitment to fostering an exceptional workplace culture has earned us notable recognitions, including being listed as a Great Place to Work in both the technology and healthcare sectors. Join us in our mission to empower healthcare innovators and improve healthcare differently.

Let’s talk tech stack
The backend stack you’ll be working with is primarily a Ruby on Rails monolith communicating with various services built in both Ruby and TypeScript, using frameworks such as Nest.js, within a distributed architecture.

We are a SaaS company focused on implementing best-in-class DevOps practices. Our infrastructure is fully cloud-based and defined as code with Terraform. Our most recent applications are containerized and deployed with Kubernetes. Deployment automation is a top priority, and we leverage different platforms, including GitLab, to achieve this.

We strongly believe in continuous deployment and have reached a high level of maturity in this regard, releasing code to production environments multiple times per day.

Our web and mobile applications use modern tools such as Angular and React Native, RxJS, Redux, and Storybook. With quality at the heart of our principles, all code is thoroughly tested using frameworks such as Jest, as well as end-to-end testing libraries and services.
