About the role

About us

Appnovation is the AI Product Company. Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, with teams around the world, Appnovation builds AI products, delivers enterprise AI and digital solutions, and co-invests with clients to bring new AI products to market.

Open source has been the foundation of Appnovation's work since 2007, and it remains the foundation underneath every AI product the company builds today. Appnovation teams work with organizations in highly regulated industries, including global leaders such as Pfizer, Google and AstraZeneca, to help them adopt AI they can govern and own.

We are hiring Full Stack Developers to join a new dedicated Appnovation team building digital products for a health and longevity client.

You will deliver features end to end across a React and Next.js frontend and Python and Node.js services, and more, from design through testing and release.

You will work closely with the team's Technical Lead, project manager, business analyst and QA, and help connect the platform to a range of digital health devices.

Key Responsibilities:

Building and quality

- Build and maintain features across the frontend and backend, end to end.

- Build integrations that bring data from digital health devices and third-party services into the platform.

- Write well-tested code and test your own work before it reaches QA.

Documentation and knowledge sharing

- Document the features, integrations and decisions you work on.

- Share what you learn so knowledge doesn't sit with any one person.

- Follow privacy and compliance requirements for handling personal health data.

Collaboration and delivery

- Turn well-formed stories into working software, and ask questions early when requirements are unclear.

- Take part in code review, both giving and acting on feedback.

- Raise risks and blockers to the Technical Lead early.

What we are looking for

Must-Have:

- At least 4 years of professional full stack development experience.

- Ability to work independently from well-defined stories, and to know when to ask for help.

- Clear written communication, including documenting your own work.

Technologies

- Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript

- Backend: Python, Node.js

Nice to Have

- Experience integrating digital health devices such as wearables and sensors, including their communication protocols (e.g. Bluetooth Low Energy).

- Experience in health, life sciences or other regulated industries, including handling sensitive personal data.

- Consulting or agency experience.

Who you are

- You take ownership of your work from first commit to release.

- You write things down so others can pick up where you left off.
