As our new Senior Software Developer, you will have the autonomy to choose projects and initiatives that interest and challenge you. Our roadmap currently includes the chance to:

• Develop APIs to allow integration with different medical records systems.
• Enhance our patient messaging functionality to help promote more effective, ongoing medical care.
• Create new eRequisition and eOrdering functionality to be roles out to a network of medical labs across the province
• Enhance eReferral features to expand nation-wide.
• Optimize the Ocean platform to operate at scale across thousands of doctors offices and hospital clinics.
• Optimize and scale security because confidential medical information is a top priority.

Join us as we change healthcare for the better.

Ocean by CognisantMD is the leading provider of EMR-integrated Patient Engagement and eReferral tools in Canada, playing a critical role in millions of patient visits and thousands of referrals every week. Our digital healthcare solutions empower patients and physicians to overcome the barriers preventing the timely delivery of healthcare services. By replacing paper forms with digital tools we give patients and providers secure ways to connect, share health information, and update patient records. Our tools:

• Empower patients to share health information with their physician before, during, and after visits, helping to ensure health records are up to date and accurate while improving patient care.
• Meet the growing demand for virtual care solutions via an online booking system and secure messaging that brings significant benefits to patients while improving clinic efficiency and reducing the need for unnecessary phone calls.
• Improve access to care by replacing faxes, calculating wait times, and reducing the time to process and access specialist referrals.

We are dedicated to our team, and we strongly believe that family comes first. To that end, we strive to find opportunities to support balance in the workplace and between work and home. As part of this, we have flexible hours, lunch socials (virtual for now but some physically-distanced small gatherings too), and meeting-free Friday afternoons.
