TELUS Health is empowering every person to live their healthiest life. Guided by our vision, we are leveraging the power of our leading edge technology and focusing on the uniqueness of each individual to create the future of health. As a global-leading health and well-being provider - encompassing physical, mental and financial health - TELUS Health is improving health outcomes for consumers, patients, healthcare professionals, employers and employees.

Join our team and what we'll accomplish together
You'll join the Benefits Administration team at TELUS, where we serve millions of Canadian employees at major enterprises. We maintain and evolve two critical platforms-the legacy Powerflex system and our modern, cutting-edge ABL (Area Benefits LifeWorks) platform-that enable employees to access and manage their benefits. Your work directly impacts how millions of Canadians interact with their employee benefits every single day.
You'll work closely with Business Analysts, product managers, and backend developers to understand the broader context of what we're building. You'll take ownership of tickets from start to finish, ask clarifying questions, and deploy solutions that solve real problems for real users.
Benefits administration is a regulated, high-stakes domain. We serve complex client needs across multiple lines of business (pension, welfare, etc.), and we don't drop features to fit capacity-we hire great people to deliver them. You'll work on systems that matter, with a team that cares about quality, stability, and continuous improvement.

What you'll do

You'll take ownership of frontend tickets-the full journey from analysis to deployment.

• Design, develop, and maintain robust frontend features using Angular.

• Collaborate closely with agile team members, including BAs and Tech Leads, to refine user stories and technical implementation details.

• Integrate frontend components seamlessly with existing backend Web APIs and REST endpoints.

• Ensure UI/UX consistency, code quality, and optimal performance across the application.

• Collaborate with backend developers to understand service architecture and API design, partner with Business Analysts to validate user workflows, and work with product managers to understand the "why" behind features.

• This isn't about following a checklist-it's about taking initiative, thinking critically, and owning outcomes.

What you bring

• 5+ years of professional software development experience, with a heavy specialization in Angular.

• Strong proficiency in TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS/SCSS. You understand semantic HTML, accessible design, and responsive layouts.

• Experience integrating frontend features with REST APIs and backend services. You understand how frontend and backend work together and can debug integration issues.

• Proven experience consuming and working strictly against backend APIs.

• Solid understanding of Agile methodologies and version control (e.g., Git).

• Strong communication skills. You can explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, ask clarifying questions, and articulate your ideas clearly.

• Initiative and resourcefulness. You don't wait to be told what to do. You research, ask senior developers for perspective, and figure things out. You're comfortable with ambiguity and self-directed learning.

Nice-to-Haves

• Agile methodologies and experience with user stories

• Continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) practices

• Git and version control workflows

• Experience in benefits administration, insurance, or regulated industries (not required-we value problem-solving skills)

• AngularJS experience (we maintain legacy code and may rewrite it; helpful but not required)

• Understanding of backend technologies like C# or .NET (helps you understand the full-stack picture)

Salary Range: $60000 - $85000

Actual total compensation will be determined based on factors such as knowledge, skills, performance and experience. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply, even if the posted salary range doesn't match your expectations. We're open to discussing competitive compensation packages tailored to your experience level and expertise.

TELUS Health offers rewarding benefits, which may vary per job function, such as:

• Comprehensive total rewards package highlighting competitive salary and bonus structures, minimum 3 weeks of vacation, and flexible benefits plan to meet the needs of you and your family
• Flexibility to work in-office, virtually or a combination of both
• Generous company matched pension
• Opportunity to give back to communities in which we work, live and serve
• Career growth and learning & development opportunities to develop your skills
• And much more...
