**

We're looking for an experienced backend-end developer to join us, especially someone with several years of experience building and shipping complex applications.

Our development team is a small group of very capable engineers and we like to balance building thoughtfully with getting things shipped. The position offers the opportunity to deeply understand our problem space and channel compassion for the experiences of older adults and the challenges of caregiving into building a mission-driven, elegant, and intuitive product.

Technologies we use: Scala, Play Framework, Protobuf, Kubernetes, Postgres. You don’t need to have specific experience in all of these, but the ability & self-motivation to learn them is a must.

We offer market competitive compensation based on experience and ability, including significant equity option grants. Other benefits include excellent health, dental, vision coverage, 401K, One Medical, Talkspace, HealthAdvocate, Teladoc memberships, and flexible vacation days. The whole team works remotely.

KEY QUALIFICATIONS**

  • 5+ years professional experience as a software engineer familiar with shipping thoughtfully built APIs
  • Experience working in engineering organizations and familiarity with software development cycles
