About Us

Medilinx Biotech is on a mission to build compassionate technology that supports caregivers and empowers aging adults to live independently, safely, and with dignity. We’re a growing team building practical, human-first tools that make care simpler—not colder.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a Software Development Intern who’s passionate about real-world impact. You’ll work alongside a small, cross-functional team to help design, develop, and refine tools that are used to support real people every day. This is a hands-on opportunity to build meaningful products, contribute to team discussions, and develop skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

What You’ll Do

  • Contribute to the design and development of software features and components
  • Collaborate with other developers, designers, and product stakeholders
  • Write clean, well-documented, testable code
  • Help debug, troubleshoot, and improve performance
  • Participate in regular code reviews and team standups
  • Learn and adapt quickly in a startup-paced environment

What We’re Looking For

  • Currently enrolled in a post-secondary program (college or university) in Computer Science, Engineering, Software Development, or a related field
  • Solid understanding of programming fundamentals (Python, JavaScript, or similar)
  • Basic familiarity with Git, version control, and modern development tools
  • Strong communication skills and fluency in English (spoken and written)
  • Comfortable working independently or in a team
  • Curious, self-motivated, and open to feedback
  • Must be based in the Toronto / GTA area and able to work remote, hybrid, or on-site as needed

Bonus Points (Not Required)

  • Experience with React, Node.js, or mobile development
  • Familiarity with APIs, databases, or cloud services
  • Interest in healthcare, accessibility, or human-centered design

What We Offer

  • Hands-on experience building something with social impact
  • Direct access to mentors and decision-makers
  • A collaborative, supportive team that values your growth
  • The potential for financial incentives and full-time employment based on performance and fit
  • Flexible working hours and location
