Software Developer

About Us

Alethea is an eConsult and digital diagnostic platform that helps Family Physicians to get specialist advice in 1 day instead of the months or years of a traditional referral. We are dedicated to creating web applications that offer exceptional user experiences and genuinely enhance the practices of our Family Physicians and Specialists.

The Role

We are looking for an experienced rock-star developer to join our development team. We are a startup, so we are seeking an intermediate to senior developer that can work as part of a team, to solve problems and deliver results. As part of the development team you will be responsible for architecting, building, and maintaining our various platforms on mobile and web, which are already making a profound impact on hundreds of family doctors and patients.

Your Responsibilities:

• Build Alethea’s frontend web and mobile applications using React-Typescript and Firebase services.
• Maintain and develop our backend using Node.JS and Firebase services.
• Work in the Google Cloud Platform to manage all aspects of the application.
• Debug and test our applications.
• Work with our Product Team to identify new features to fulfill user needs.
• Participate in every stage of development, from architectural decisions to deploying your code.

Who You Are:

• A self-starter with 3+ years of experience building and maintaining full-stack applications
• Proficient in modern frontend frameworks (React preferred), backend development (Node.js), and working within cloud environments (Firebase, GCP, etc.)
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to navigate ambiguity with a solutions-oriented mindset
• Passionate about building high-quality, user-centric software that solves real-world problems
• Will challenge the status quo, with the intent of improving how doctors work, and our software and development practices.
• Comfortable working in an agile, remote-first team and taking ownership of projects from inception to deployment
• Familiarity with healthcare, AI, or startups is a plus—but not required

Why Join Alethea?

• Fully remote work environment (we’re Calgary-based but have team members across Canada)
• Work life balance - We believe in having a life outside of work. Work hours are flexible, overtime is not the norm.
• Health benefits and 3 weeks of vacation, plus a week off during the winter holidays
• Startup exposure – get involved beyond code in areas like product strategy, business development, and team leadership
• Opportunity to make a meaningful impact in Canadian healthcare and beyond

We are seeking bright individuals who have a strong desire to learn, are user-oriented, are enthusiastic about creating software that simplifies the lives of our doctors, and find fulfillment in tackling a wide range of tasks—especially in our startup environment.
