About League
League is one of the fastest-growing technology companies in Canada and the leading healthcare experience platform. Getting healthcare is often the easy part — finishing it is where things fall apart: people book the appointment and skip the follow-up, fill the prescription and stop taking it, get the referral and never make the call. That gap costs health plans and health systems money, and it costs people their health. League closes that gap — identifying what each person needs to do next, clearing what’s in their way, and getting it done, for the 70 million+ people whose care already runs through our platform. Health plans and health systems trust us to do this at scale. Organizations like Manulife, SCAN, Geisinger, and Medibank on the payer side, and Baptist and Shoppers Drug Mart on the provider side.
As a Senior or Staff Software Engineer, Backend on our Platform Engineering team, you bring deep technical expertise to the design and delivery of the foundational services and developer tools that power League’s engineering organization; working inside our pod-based delivery model alongside the teams that build on your services.
You take ownership of complex, ambiguous problems across the platform’s backend systems, from service architecture to production reliability, and set the technical bar through your own work.
At Senior level, that ownership centers on your own services and team. At Staff level, it extends across pods; setting architecture direction, raising engineering standards platform-wide, and mentoring senior engineers. Both levels partner closely with Platform Engineering leadership, Product, and cross-functional stakeholders to ensure the platform scales with League’s growth
