Somaticore is building a secure, research-backed cognitive health platform. We’re looking for a part-time Full-Stack Developer based in Toronto to help architect and maintain the systems that power our app - with a particular focus on backend security, data integrity, and user privacy.
You’ll work closely with a small team across product and design, owning backend infrastructure decisions and helping us build something that people can genuinely trust with their health data. This is a hybrid role with flexible hours.
This position is open until filled. We review applications on a rolling basis.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain secure backend APIs and services.
- Implement authentication, authorization, and data protection best practices.
- Conduct security reviews and address vulnerabilities proactively.
- Collaborate with the frontend on API design and integration.
- Set up and maintain infrastructure including CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and logging.
- Ensure the platform meets relevant data privacy standards (PIPEDA).
- Solid backend development experience (Node.js, Python, or similar).
- Strong understanding of web security fundamentals (OWASP, auth patterns, encryption).
- Experience with relational and/or NoSQL databases.
- Comfort working across the full stack when needed.
- Ability to work independently and communicate clearly in a small team.
- Based in Toronto with availability for occasional in-person collaboration.
- A background or genuine interest in psychology, cognitive science, or neuroscience is an asset.
- Experience handling health data or other sensitive user data.
- Familiarity with PIPEDA or HIPAA compliance requirements.
- Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
