Contract - Senior Developer
About Us
AlleyCorp Nord is a boutique consultancy building at the intersection of AI and healthcare. We solve challenging human problems by applying cutting-edge technology and domain understanding.
About the role
We're seeking a senior software developer to join our dynamic team and play a role in creating innovative software solutions for our clients — primarily healthcare organizations. This position offers a diverse and challenging mix of consulting projects with a variety of different technical stacks.
In this role, you will be working with our clients, embedded in multi-disciplinary teams of designers, data scientists, and developers. You may at times get to lead projects, and you may occasionally work solo with a client.
Your work will consist of:
- Product development — gathering requirements, talking to stakeholders, developing features, and making improvements to our clients’ software products. Delivering high-quality code, including frontend and backend, infrastructure, data, and more.
- Tooling — Improving platform tooling for your project(s), through building CI/CD pipelines, test suites, and more. Making best use of AI coding assistants, in accordance with project constraints.
- On some projects, technical project management — planning and coordinating deliverables, scope, timelines and budgets for a project team; working closely with clients and internal interdisciplinary teams to ensure successful and high quality delivery.
- Supporting the team — Bringing process and tooling suggestions to your teammates, mentoring more junior colleagues, presenting internally, participating in interviews, and contributing to internal tooling projects from time to time.
About you
We are seeking individuals with a strong track record of shipping software professionally. We are stack-agnostic, but most of our clients use TypeScript, React, Postgres, and Node and/or Python somewhere in their stacks — ideally, you are familiar with at least some of these. Our AI-heavy projects also often use MLFlow. Most of our clients build on AWS.
When we say full-stack, we know it’s a complicated term. It’s okay if your experience is somewhat skewed towards frontend or backend! The key thing we are looking for is a good baseline level of familiarity with different parts of the stack and a willingness to move around and out of your comfort zone.
We want you to apply if you:
- Have 5+ years of experience as a software developer.
- Are able to articulate tradeoffs in technology choices and relate them to business needs.
- Have excellent communication skills and can explain complex technical problems in an accessible and compassionate way.
- Are adaptable, self-motivated, and thrive in fast-moving environments.
- Love building good user experiences.
- Have a proven track record of mentorship and leadership.
Bonus points if you:
- Have experience in client-facing roles such as consulting, forward-deployed engineering, or even product/project management.
- Have worked in healthcare or other heavily regulated industries.
- Have worked on AI or data products.
All of job postings describe a bit of a unicorn. If you’re kind of a “narwhal,” please apply anyway. You don’t need to meet all the requirements, let alone the bonus criteria. While experience and skill sets are valuable, growth potential and attitudes are equally important. We are usually flexible on levels or can advise you when a more relevant posting opens.
We are a remote-first company with office space in Montreal. We prefer to hire in Quebec, but we are open to candidates anywhere in the EST±2 time zone in Canada.
AlleyCorp Nord values the diversity of the people it hires and serves. Diversity, for us, means fostering a workplace in which a person's differences are recognized, appreciated, respected and responded to in ways that fully develop and utilize their talents and strengths.
