Senior Software Engineer Jobs in Vancouver (No ghost jobs, direct from employers)

About ODAIA

ODAIA (noun) · o·da·ia | oh-day-yeah: an Ancient Greek word referring to ōdē, the word for song and the root of melody, harmony, and orchestra. We chose it deliberately: the best commercial intelligence doesn't just inform, it orchestrates.

ODAIA delivers AI-powered commercial intelligence for life sciences, unifying data, accelerating results, and helping commercial teams deepen engagement to enhance care for providers and patients. Our AI platform transforms complex data into predictive, personalized insights, enabling commercial leaders to understand their customers, anticipate prescribing behaviors, and make the informed, strategic decisions that bring therapies to patients faster.

Our Mission

Reducing patients' time to therapy by facilitating meaningful interactions with healthcare providers, through human-centric software powered by AI.

What's On Offer

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our engineering team. You'll design, build, and ship the products and services that shape how pharma commercial teams engage with healthcare providers, working across the stack with product, design, and ML engineering.

How we build: We work AI-first. Coding agents like Claude Code do a large share of the hands-on implementation, and engineers spend their time on problem framing, direction, review, and integration. You stay fully accountable for what ships.

We expect you to be an active voice in how we plan and build: contributing to epics, shaping scope, and bringing an engineering perspective into roadmap conversations from the start.

Please include a cover letter with your application. Describe a project where you used AI coding agents to deliver a significant part of the work. Tell us what you delegated, how you reviewed and course-corrected the output, and where you chose not to rely on the tool.

What You Will Do

• Own significant product capabilities end-to-end, from ambiguous problem framing through design, implementation, deployment, and iteration with minimal oversight
• Build accessible, data-rich user experiences with React and TypeScript that make complex commercial and healthcare insights clear and actionable
• Build and maintain real-time computation services (AWS Lambda) that serve scores and calculations on-demand to the customer-facing app, with an eye toward latency, reliability, and cost at scale
• Design and maintain reliable, scalable APIs and backend services connecting ODAIA's data, ML, analytics, and agentic capabilities to customer-facing products
• Work across our stack: AWS, Kubernetes, Snowflake, PostgreSQL, and embedded analytical engines like DuckDB and DataFusion
• Lead technical design, code review, and architectural discussions, surfacing risks and trade-offs early
• Mentor other engineers and help shape team practices around testing, observability, and code quality
• Partner with engineering leadership on technical roadmap decisions and platform investments

What You Bring

• 6+ years of professional software development experience, with significant ownership across frontend and backend systems and at least one experience leading a project with limited supervision
• Strong technical depth and sound systems judgment: you can tell a good design from a weak one, explain why, and say how to improve it
• Hands-on experience driving coding agents as a primary way of building: orchestrating agents across multiple tasks, structuring a codebase or new initiative so agents work well in it, reviewing the output critically, and retaining full ownership of the final implementation
• A track record of mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar on a team.
• Deep experience with React and TypeScript, plus a strong grasp of browser fundamentals, state management, and frontend performance
• Extensive experience designing and operating APIs or backend services (Python, TypeScript, or similar) under real production load
• Strong engineering fundamentals (modular design, testing, and maintainable code) paired with the judgment to know when simplicity is right and when more rigor is needed
• Experience guiding coding AI agents effectively, reviewing generated output, and retaining full ownership of the final implementation
• A product-oriented mindset and clear communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
