You define how the codebase is built. On-site | Vancouver Office – 675 W Hastings St. The Problem We're Solving EviSmart is building the unified dashboard platform where every product surface comes together — the interface lab owners use to manage cases, access analytics, and launch AI-powered tools. It doesn’t have a frontend foundation yet. What exists is a clear product direction, a backend that’s ready to connect, and an engineering team that needs someone to draw the lines before anyone starts building. Why EviSmart 300 people. Two hubs: Vancouver HQ and Manila operations. 145% year-over-year SaaS growth — the market is responding. 28 countries. One platform. The dental industry's Autopilot. An in-house AI model research and development team building proprietary intelligence. Why This Role, Right Now Most senior frontend engineers join products with foundations already in place — someone else made the hard calls, and your job is to build within them. This is the opposite. There is no existing dashboard frontend, no technical debt to inherit, and no architectural decisions that constrain you yet. The person who joins now makes the foundational choices that the entire frontend team builds on for the next several years. The first product milestone is aggressive, the customer base is real and global, and the backend is ready. What doesn’t exist yet is the engineer who sets the direction. A Note from the Team “We’re not looking for someone who needs a clear spec before they can move. We need someone who can audit what exists, make a recommendation, and execute on it. If you’ve been the person who sets the technical direction that your team builds on, and you want to do that at a scale that actually matters, this is that conversation.” — Paolo Kalaw, CEO, EviSmart What You’ll Own Own the React JS / TypeScript frontend architecture for a new dashboard platform — the unified interface where all products connect.

This position is based in Vancouver, BC , within Diligent’s Technical Center of Excellence. We are currently hiring candidates who are based in or able to work from Vancouver . Software Engineer — Platform AI Service Levels: Software Engineer II Senior Software Engineer Staff Software Engineer Location: Vancouver Position Overview As a Software Engineer on Diligent's Platform AI team, you'll help design, build, and operate the core services that power AI-driven capabilities across Diligent's global product suite. You'll build secure, scalable, serverless services on AWS that translate AI research and models into commercial-quality, production-ready solutions — enabling customers to derive insights from their governance data. You'll work closely with AI researchers, product managers, and other engineering teams, owning your services end-to-end: architecture, implementation, deployment, and monitoring. The team operates with a strong AI-augmented engineering culture — using AI tools to accelerate coding, testing, debugging, and delivery — while applying sound judgment about when and how to apply them. Key Responsibilities Design and implement secure, scalable, fault-tolerant, high-performing solutions using AWS serverless technology — event-driven, highly observable, and built with infrastructure as code. Collaborate with AI researchers/engineers to translate AI and LLM capabilities into robust, production-grade services, and help other teams integrate them. Build and maintain the pipelines needed to deploy, monitor, and manage AI services at scale — observable, resilient, and cost-effective. Use AI-powered development tools (code assistants, test generation, architecture exploration) responsibly to accelerate delivery and improve quality, always validating outputs. Participate in architecture discussions and design reviews, and contribute to product design by understanding customer problems — especially where AI can offer a breakthrough solution. Work in

Most reps sell software. You sell a better way to run a business. On-site | Vancouver Office – 675 W Hastings St. The Problem We're Solving Dental labs are running complex operations on manual processes — and the cost shows up in capacity, margins, and the inability to scale without hiring. EviSmart is building the AI-powered workflow automation platform that changes that equation. What the company needs now is the person who can walk into a lab owner's world, diagnose the real problem, and close the deal that transforms how they operate. Why EviSmart 300 people. Two hubs: Vancouver HQ and Manila operations. 145% year-over-year SaaS growth — the market is responding. 28 countries. One platform. The dental industry's Autopilot. An in-house AI model research and development team building proprietary intelligence. Why This Role, Right Now Most sales roles hand you a pitch deck and a quota. This one asks you to think differently. EviSmart isn't selling software features — it's selling a new operating model for an industry that has never had one. The labs buying this platform aren't switching tools; they're eliminating entire categories of manual work. The successful AE are diagnosing bottlenecks, quantifying impact, and building the business case that makes the decision obvious. The pipeline is real, the product is proven, and the ceiling on what you can earn is uncapped. A Note from the Team "We're not hiring someone who needs a script to start a conversation. We need someone who walks into a discovery call with genuine curiosity about how a lab operates — and leaves having shown the owner something they couldn't see before. That's the rep who wins here." — Paolo Kalaw, CEO, EviSmart What You’ll Own Own the full sales cycle from first discovery call to signed contract — intake, diagnosis, solution, close. Diagnose workflow breakdowns across lab operations: where manual work creates bottlenecks, where throughput is

Platform administration isn't the part of the product anyone screenshots for a demo. Nobody's writing a blog post about your identity provisioning flow. But it's the thing every other team at Diligent quietly depends on more than any other dev team in the company and when it breaks, everyone notices immediately. If that kind of quiet, high-stakes ownership sounds appealing rather than thankless, keep reading. This role is for someone who wants real skin in the game: you build it, you ship it, you support it. We're a high-initiative team that improves things we see first and asks permission later, building secure, event-driven microservices in TypeScript on AWS, and treating infrastructure as code the same way we treat application code: with rigor, not as an afterthought. Here's a breakdown of what you'll do (not all of it, just the important stuff) Design and build secure, scalable full-stack services using AWS serverless tech (Lambda, SQS, API Gateway) — with real attention to event-driven patterns and observability, not just "does it work on my machine." Own your services in production. That means building good observability, keeping an eye on alerts, and responding to them before they become bigger problems. Build infrastructure as code with AWS CDK and push for CI/CD that ships safely and often — not "big bang" releases you have to pray over. Design RESTful APIs other teams will actually want to consume: clear contracts, sane versioning, no surprises. Write tests — unit, integration, end-to-end — as part of how you build, not a chore you do after. Show up to architecture discussions with opinions and documentation, not just vibes. Use AI tools to move faster on coding, debugging, testing, and research — but you're still the one who validates the output. These are the essentials you'll need to get an interview 2-3 years of professional software engineering experience in an agile, full-stack-focused environment. Solid full-stack fundamentals: request lifecycles, d

Position Overview: As a Software Engineer II at Diligent, you’ll take on a hands-on technical role in building secure, scalable, and high-performing serverless microservices using TypeScript on AWS. You’ll contribute meaningfully to our mission of making governance effortless for our customers, working in a team of passionate and talented individuals that owns its services end to end—from architecture and implementation to monitoring and continuous improvements. This role is ideal for a mid-level engineer who writes solid code and embraces AI-powered tools to work smarter and faster. You’ll help shape architectural discussions, and scale modern development practices, including responsible use of AI in workflows. Key Responsibilities Design and implement secure, scalable, high-performing, yet simple solutions using AWS Serverless technology. These solutions should strive to be event-driven, highly observable, with infrastructure as code, and tightly leveraging AWS’s ecosystem of services. Optimize your development and delivery experience in order to maximize your team’s productivity and deploy continuously to production. Work in a collaborative environment where you regularly pair, plan, and execute tasks as a team and maintain a healthy development flow by adhering to Agile processes and driving iterative enhancements. Use AI tools to accelerate coding, debugging, testing, research, and code reviews, always validating outputs and applying judgment. Required Experience/Skills 3–5 years of professional software engineering experience in an agile, fast-paced environment. AI Tooling & Practices: Uses AI to boost productivity, skilled in prompt engineering, and evaluates AI outputs responsibly (bias, cost, ethics). Familiar with core AI concepts (tokens, context length, embeddings, hallucinations), understands high-level LLM behavior, and recognizes safe vs. unsafe use cases (privacy, security, fairness). Cloud & infrastructure basics: Hands-on with AWS ser
