Senior Software Engineer, Backend
Dialogue
Senior Software Engineer, Platform Engineering
The Platform team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to work on our core APIs and data platform.
About the Platform Engineering team
Dialogue’s Integrated Health Platform supports the health and wellness of millions of Canadians across 49,000+ organizations. That’s a lot to keep track of! Our clients need to tell us who’s eligible and receive invoices each month; our members need to enroll and access the services that they’re eligible for; our Ops team needs to provide care empathetically and efficiently. The Platform Engineering team is the foundation of these operations.
We operate several core APIs that serve information about our client organizations and users to the member app and care platform. Performance and reliability are key pillars of these services. We also operate a data and workflow orchestration platform which enables information to flow between different parts of the architecture and empowers stakeholders with business intelligence, reporting, and analytics.
Overall, our team strives to streamline product development by building and evolving platform technologies for our colleagues.
What you’ll be working on
On the Platform Engineering team, we work on a variety of projects, including backend services, data pipelines, libraries, and infrastructure. You should apply for this role if you:
- Enjoy creating long-term business value with platform technologies
- Have meaningful experience working on distributed systems
- Have familiarity with data engineering systems, or are willing to learn on the job
Our squad’s objective is to improve the security, reliability, and agility of Dialogue’s architecture and data platform. To that end, you’ll work on core Python APIs backed by PostgreSQL, and contribute to dbt workflows backed by a Snowflake warehouse and orchestrated with Airflow. Furthermore, you’ll design, build, & deploy new software components, all containerized with Docker and deployed to a Kubernetes cluster in AWS. It helps if you’ve worked with any of these technologies in the past, but it’s not a requirement – we’ll help bring you up to speed!

What it's like to be part of Dialogue Engineering
Empowered teams. Our teams own objectives, not projects. This means that your team is empowered to creatively engineer solutions rather than just implement someone else’s ideas. Dialogue engineers regularly meet with stakeholders to learn about their needs, collect feedback, and collaboratively iterate on the product.
Fast development cycles. We’ve built mature continuous integration pipelines and automated testing to drive quick cycles, readable code reviews, and low defect rates. Simple web and backend changes can be verified and safely shipped to production in minutes, while our mobile apps and care platform maintain a working pre-prod branch and a tight release schedule.
DevOps mindset. Our applications are deployed to an auto-scaling Kubernetes cluster on AWS defined with infra-as-code. We are constantly working to secure, standardize, and improve our infrastructure, tooling, and tech stack. At Dialogue, the “right” way is often the same as the “easy” way.
How we hire engineers
Our method is geared to find a candidate who will enjoy their day-to-day work, share our values, and enrich our culture. During the hiring process, we’ll expose you to the type of work you’ll actually be doing every day and give you opportunities to speak with your future peers and leaders.
