Software Engineer Intern

About Stem HealthStem Health is reimagining the primary care experience for individuals who want a more thoughtful relationship with their health. Physician-led and membership-based, we combine medical excellence with the warmth of hospitality anchored in a beautifully designed flagship clinic at First Canadian Place, opening September 2026. Our care model is relationship-based, data-informed, and built on time, trust, and exceptional service.
The OpportunityTechnology is central to how Stem Health works. From the systems that coordinate care to the tools that help our team operate, the software we build directly shapes the experience our members and clinicians have every day. We are building these systems thoughtfully and from the ground up — and we want the right people helping us do it.
We are looking for a Software Engineer Intern to join our technology team for a 4-month term. This is a real engineering role: you will write code that gets used, work on problems that matter, and contribute to a product that is actively being built. We are not looking for someone to write documentation or shadow meetings we are looking for someone who wants to build.
This is an ideal opportunity for a student or recent graduate who is technically strong, product-minded, and excited by the challenge of building software in a complex, high-stakes, real-world environment.
What You’ll Work OnFeature development and product engineering

• Design, build, and ship features across Stem Health’s internal and member-facing products including member portals, care coordination tools, scheduling systems, clinical workflow integrations, and internal dashboards.
• Contribute to both front-end and back-end development depending on project needs and your strengths full-stack contributions are welcome.
• Translate product requirements and design specs into clean, functional, well-tested code that integrates smoothly with existing systems and APIs.
• Participate in sprint planning, code reviews, and team stand-ups contributing as a full member of the engineering team throughout your term.

Systems integration and API development

• Help build and maintain integrations between Stem Health’s systems and third-party platforms — including EHR/EMR systems, scheduling tools, diagnostic lab platforms, payment providers, and communication services.
• Develop and consume RESTful APIs, contribute to data pipeline work, and help ensure data flows reliably and securely across the system.
• Support the setup and maintenance of cloud infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and environment configuration as needed.

AI-enabled tooling (where applicable)

• Depending on interest and project availability, contribute to the development of AI-enabled internal tools including integrations with large language model APIs, retrieval-augmented systems, or workflow automation pipelines.
• Work alongside our Technology Director to support the productionization of AI features, including prompt engineering, output evaluation, and guardrail implementation.

Code quality and engineering practice

• Write clean, readable, and well-documented code and contribute to a codebase that others can understand, maintain, and build on.
• Write unit and integration tests as part of normal development practice, contributing to overall system reliability and confidence.
• Identify bugs, performance issues, and technical debt proactively, and contribute fixes and improvements as part of your regular workflow.

What We’re Looking For

• Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from a post-secondary program in Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Strong programming fundamentals proficiency in at least one modern language (Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar); back-end or full-stack experience is an asset.
• Familiarity with web development frameworks (e.g., React, Next.js, FastAPI, Node.js, Django, or similar) and the ability to pick up new tools quickly.
• Experience working with databases (SQL or NoSQL), APIs, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) at any level, including coursework or personal projects.
• Comfort with version control (Git), collaborative development workflows, and working within an existing codebase.
• A product-minded approach to engineering: you think about the user, not just the code, and you care whether what you build actually works well in practice.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the abilit…
