About Zlenox
Zlenox is a Canadian health technology company building ZHERP — a cloud-based Healthcare Enterprise Resource Planner for senior living and long-term care facilities. ZHERP brings Electronic Medical Records (EMR), Human Resources Management (HRM), and Resident Relationship Management (CRM) into a single platform, replacing the fragmented legacy systems most facilities still rely on today. We are a small, focused team building a real product for a sector that genuinely needs better software. Our codebase is clean, our stack is deliberately lean, and we move fast without unnecessary process overhead.
The Role We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our team remotely from Nigeria. You will work directly on ZHERP — contributing to new features, fixing bugs, improving performance, and helping bring the product to its first customers. This is a hands-on engineering role. You will be writing code daily, collaborating closely with the founding team, and taking ownership of discrete features end-to-end. Day-to-day responsibilities include: Building and shipping new features across the Django backend and HTMX/Alpine.js frontend Writing clean, well-tested Python and Django code against PostgreSQL Implementing UI components using HTMX and Alpine.js with Tailwind CSS utility classes Reviewing and improving existing code — performance, readability, and security Participating in code reviews and contributing to technical discussions Integrating third-party APIs and services (billing, analytics, clinical data standards)
Tech Stack Backend: Python, Django, PostgreSQL Frontend: HTMX, Alpine.js, Tailwind CSS — no React, no Vue, no heavy JS framework Infrastructure: Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Linux environments Tools: Git, standard Django tooling (Django ORM, Django REST Framework, Celery)
What We're Looking For Required Solid Django experience — you have built and shipped production Django applications and are comfortable navigating an unfamiliar codebase Proficiency in Python and SQL; you write readable, maintainable code and understand Django's ORM well Experience with HTMX, Alpine.js, and Tailwind CSS — or strong enough HTML/CSS/JS fundamentals to pick them up quickly (the patterns are straightforward) Familiarity with PostgreSQL — schema design, query optimization, migrations Comfortable working independently and asynchronously across time zones Reliable internet connection and availability to overlap with the Canadian Eastern Time zone for daily standups and collaboration Nice to Have Experience with healthcare software, EMR/EHR systems, or data-sensitive regulated environments Familiarity with REST API design and third-party API integrations Experience with Celery for async task processing Prior remote work experience with a North American or European company Working Hours & Communication This is a fully remote role based in Nigeria. We work asynchronously by default, with a required daily overlap window during Canadian Eastern Time business hours for standups and team calls. We use written communication heavily — clear, concise writing matters as much as clean code.
Compensation ₦300,000 – ₦900,000 per month, depending on experience. Specific placement within the range will be discussed during the interview process.
Hiring Process Coding screen — a short take-home assessment covering Django and Python fundamentals One-way video interview — async video responses to a set of questions about your experience and approach Live coding session — a real-time technical exercise with the founder
Why Join Zlenox You will work on a real product with real clinical impact — ZHERP is used by facilities caring for seniors The stack is modern and practical — no bloated frameworks, no over-engineered infrastructure Small team means your contributions are visible and your opinions matter Direct access to the founding team and the opportunity to grow with the company Zlenox is headquartered in Brampton, Ontario, Canada.
