Job Summary

Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- You work as one of two engineers on our system, with a focus on the Python backend: data model, business logic, APIs, and the integrations our operations run on. If full stack is your thing, the rest is open to you: the staff portal in Next.js and our two apps in React Native. You share responsibility and cover for each other, in everyday work and during vacations.
- You build features from the data model through the business logic to the finished API endpoint, and all the way to the screen if you want.
- You work on core topics like the budget engine, billing, the payroll pipeline and matching. Logic where diligence really counts.
- You maintain code in production that real people use every day: our operations team, caregivers, and customers with their families.
- You work directly with product and the tech lead, no layers in between. Requirements arrive as fully worked-out specifications from our knowledge base, not as two-line tickets.
- You get freedom and real responsibility: the system is brand new, much of it is taking shape right now, and you help decide where it goes. The roadmap includes shift planning, analytics, a marketing module and an ambassador platform.
