Why we read it this way (7)
Smile Digital Health is a Canadian company (Toronto-based); no specific city is mentioned in the posting, and the role is fully remote. The role is likely Canadian but could be open to other geographies — no US-specific location or currency is stated, so the US-based flag is set to false and no CBSA is assigned.
The title 'Intermediate Software Developer' maps to a Mid-level band. However, the 5+ years of full-cycle SDLC experience requirement is on the higher end for Mid; the scope and responsibilities (no people management, no cross-org technical authority) still align with Mid rather than Senior.
Post-secondary education in computer science or equivalent is listed under Requirements but explicitly accepts 'equivalent work experience' as a substitute, so no formal degree is hard-gated.
HL7/FHIR is listed in the requirements section but explicitly flagged as 'an asset,' so it is treated as preferred.
Full-stack/front-end skills (Angular, JavaScript, Node.js, npm) appear under the 'Nice to have' section and are marked preferred accordingly.
No compensation figures are disclosed in the posting. Benefits mention RRSP/TFSA (Canadian) and 401K (US), suggesting the role may be open to candidates in both countries.
Healthcare industry experience is listed as 'preferred' in the requirements section and is a domain/context item rather than a named technology, so it is omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
