Full Stack Developer

at  Caredove

THE COMPANY

Most of us have had ailing family members struggle to navigate the healthcare system, unable to find and connect to the care they need in time. It’s tough. We are solving this problem.
Caredove is a health care referral management platform for connecting patients with community healthcare services. With our software, we have helped over one million patients access healthcare in Canada, from newborns needing health screening to seniors accessing home care. Staff at over one thousand community health care organizations use Caredove, like Canadian Red Cross, Royal Ottawa Hospital and the Alzheimer Society. We are just getting started.
We want to bring a consumer-oriented approach to healthcare software where the public finds it easy to book services online, and clinicians can connect patients with community care, simply, right from their electronic medical record. The company is based in Orillia, Ontario where we have an office. However, most of our team of ~20 people work remotely. You can too if that is best for you.
