Senior Software Engineer

Care1 is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join our core engineering team. This is a full-time remote position. Candidates must be based in Pakistan. To ensure effective collaboration with our Canadian-based Product, Engineering, and Clinical Operations teams, candidates must have daily working hours that overlap from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM Pacific Time (PT), Monday to Friday.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role. You will spend the majority of your time writing and reviewing code, building features end-to-end across the stack. We are looking for full-stack engineers who enjoy building and shipping software directly. We value engineers who take ownership, communicate clearly, and consistently deliver high-quality work. The ideal candidate should have experience with a React/Django stack (see a fuller list or our stack below).

You will work under the guidance of our engineering leads and report directly into the Pakistan-based engineering team lead. You will help ship impactful features, identify and solve complex problems, and contribute to the long-term stability of our production code. We are looking for someone who is a strong communicator, a proactive team player, and someone who demonstrates urgency when needed in a remote environment.

We’re building a team of engineers who take ownership, communicate clearly, and thrive on delivering great software together. If you're someone who leads by example, collaborates well under changing priorities, and takes pride in your work then we’d love to hear from you.

About Care1:

Care1 is a profitable medical AI and technology company that is changing the way eye doctors think about patient care.

Our cloud-based software connects eye doctors (ophthalmologists and optometrists) allowing them to screen, diagnose, and treat patients remotely. We also label, train, fine tune and implement deep learning AI models for the automatic detection and treatment of complex eyecare diseases via a variety of modern diagnostic technologies including 3-dimensional photos of the eye, ocular coherence tomography and peripheral visual field testing. Over the past decade we have grown Care1 to integrate with over 200 eye doctors across Canada, who have used our platform to deliver care to over 150,000 patients. This makes the Care1 network one of the largest eyecare telemedicine networks worldwide.

Our vision is to become the leading eyecare AI platform in the world.
