THE POSITION
We’re seeking a Vice President (VP) of Engineering to lead, empower, and inspire our software engineering team — driving innovation and excellence as we continue building one of Canada’s most impactful virtual healthcare platforms. Reporting directly to the CTO, you’ll be accountable for the performance and growth of our engineers, ensuring we deliver high-quality, reliable, and innovative products at scale.
As VP of Engineering, you’ll set the engineering vision, evolve our engineering practices, and ensure architectural decisions support scale and reliability — with your primary focus on organizational health, delivery excellence, and operational outcomes. You’ll partner closely with Product, Design, Data, and Operations to deliver solutions that meet real-world healthcare needs while fostering a culture of high standards, accountability, and continuous improvement.
At Maple, engineering leadership is hands-on and product-aware. We expect our VP of Engineering to manage and scale teams, shape org design and guild structure, guide hiring strategies, and champion technical excellence across the company. You will also play a key role in advancing Maple’s position as an early AI adopter in healthcare technology — embedding AI-driven innovation into our products, processes, and culture to enhance patient care, provider experience, and operational efficiency.
