Stem Health is reimagining the primary care experience for individuals who want a more thoughtful relationship with their health. Physician-led and membership-based, we combine medical excellence with the warmth of hospitality anchored in a beautifully designed flagship clinic at First Canadian Place, opening September 2026. Our care model is relationship-based, data-informed, and built on time, trust, and exceptional service.
The Opportunity
Technology is central to how Stem Health works. From the systems that coordinate care to the tools that help our team operate, the software we build directly shapes the experience our members and clinicians have every day. We are building these systems thoughtfully and from the ground up — and we want the right people helping us do it.
We are looking for a Software Engineer Intern to join our technology team for a 4-month term. This is a real engineering role: you will write code that gets used, work on problems that matter, and contribute to a product that is actively being built. We are not looking for someone to write documentation or shadow meetings we are looking for someone who wants to build.
This is an ideal opportunity for a student or recent graduate who is technically strong, product-minded, and excited by the challenge of building software in a complex, high-stakes, real-world environment.
What You'll Work On
Feature development and product engineering
- Design, build, and ship features across Stem Health's internal and member-facing products including member portals, care coordination tools, scheduling systems, clinical workflow integrations, and internal dashboards.
- Contribute to both front-end and back-end development depending on project needs and your strengths full-stack contributions are welcome.
- Translate product requirements and design specs into clean, functional, well-tested code that integrates smoothly with existing systems and APIs.
- Participate in sprint planning, code reviews, and team stand-ups contributing as a full member of the engineering team throughout your term.
- Help build and maintain integrations between Stem Health's systems and third-party platforms — including EHR/EMR systems, scheduling tools, diagnostic lab platforms, payment providers, and communication services.
- Develop and consume RESTful APIs, contribute to data pipeline work, and help ensure data flows reliably and securely across the system.
- Support the setup and maintenance of cloud infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and environment configuration as needed.
- Depending on interest and project availability, contribute to the development of AI-enabled internal tools including integrations with large language model APIs, retrieval-augmented systems, or workflow automation pipelines.
- Work alongside our Technology Director to support the productionization of AI features, including prompt engineering, output evaluation, and guardrail implementation.
- Write clean, readable, and well-documented code and contribute to a codebase that others can understand, maintain, and build on.
- Write unit and integration tests as part of normal development practice, contributing to overall system reliability and confidence.
- Identify bugs, performance issues, and technical debt proactively, and contribute fixes and improvements as part of your regular workflow.
- Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from a post-secondary program in Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- Strong programming fundamentals proficiency in at least one modern language (Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar); back-end or full-stack experience is an asset.
- Familiarity with web development frameworks (e.g., React, Next.js, FastAPI, Node.js, Django, or similar) and the ability to pick up new tools quickly.
- Experience working with databases (SQL or NoSQL), APIs, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) at any level, including coursework or personal projects.
- Comfort with version control (Git), collaborative development workflows, and working within an existing codebase.
- A product-minded approach to engineering: you think about the user, not just the code, and you care whether what you build actually works well in practice.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to break ambiguous requirements into concrete, implementable tasks.
- Excellent written and verbal communication you can explain technical decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical collaborators.
- An interest in healthcare, health technology, or building software in regulated or privacy-sensitive environments is a genuine asset.
- Real engineering work on a live, actively developed product your contributions will ship and will be used by real people.
- Exposure to the full product development lifecycle, from problem definition and design to deployment and iteration, in a fast-moving early-stage environment.
- Direct collaboration with experienced engineers, a product team, and cross-functional stakeholders the kind of exposure that accelerates professional growth.
- Experience building software in a healthcare context, where privacy, reliability, and safety are non-negotiable a meaningful differentiator for your career.
- A portfolio of shipped work from a distinctive, purpose-driven company you can speak to confidently in future interviews.
You write code because you genuinely enjoy building things. You are curious about how systems work, disciplined about the quality of your output, and motivated by seeing your work in the hands of real users. You are comfortable asking for help when you need it, honest about what you know and what you are still learning, and energized by the idea of contributing to something meaningful. You do not need to have all the answers on day one you need the drive to find them and the work ethic to follow through
