About the company: 

Online Care Booking Platform that connects health care workers with those looking for care, primarily in home care.

Describe the project.: 

This innovation project will deliver a cloud-native platform that seamlessly connects nurses, personal support workers and child-care professionals with clients in need of in-home care. By automating manual tasks and centering on patient needs, the platform will streamline service delivery—reducing administrative overhead and improving both the quality and accessibility of care. A dedicated AI and data engineering team is building smart matching, real-time availability tracking and predictive scheduling features that leverage behavioral and demand analytics to ensure each client receives timely, personalized support.

As a full-stack developer, you will work with Laravel (PHP) to build and secure RESTful APIs, collaborate on designing scalable relational databases, and integrate third-party services such as payment processing and messaging. On the frontend, you will use React Native to craft intuitive mobile interfaces for iOS and Android, and you will implement automated tests with PHPUnit, Jest and Detox to maintain reliability across the entire stack. Although you will not develop the AI models directly, your API implementations and integration work will enable seamless communication between the core application and the machine-learning services.

The team follows Agile (Scrum) practices, with continuous integration and deployment managed through GitHub Actions and hosting on Google Cloud Platform. Throughout development, the platform will prioritize high availability, performance and compliance with Canadian data-privacy regulations (PIPEDA, PHIPA). By combining a modular, cloud-native architecture with user-focused design, this project represents a meaningful advance in digital home-care services and will empower care providers and patients alike.
