August Health

We're working on a new company to improve how people age in our country. A demographic 'perfect storm' is brewing over the next 25 years: (1) the 80+ population will double to more than 30 million people, (2) the family caregiver ratio will almost cut in half (and is further hurt as more children move away from their parents), and (3) as life expectancy rises, people are living for years with complex health issues and disability. And annual long term care costs are about $400 billion today. Our goal is to make a significant difference in care quality for elders and put a dent in healthcare costs in the country. We're looking for a founding front-end developer to join us, especially someone with several years of experience building and shipping complex applications. Our team has a pretty technical background and we like to balance building thoughtfully with getting things shipped. We are also on the lookout for somebody who can turn high fidelity mockups into (non-functional) html+css components that other developers can run with. This person should be excited getting into the weeds of tiny design details and the know-how to use well-formed css to make them real. Prior to this, we cofounded and sold a big-data mapping company, Mapsense, to Apple. Our team of 7 has a strong technical background and also includes a physician with years of experience with geriatric patients. We recently raised a round of financing from tier-1 VCs. The first few hires for a company set the engineering practices, philosophy, culture for the future - and we are looking for people who are excited by these parts of company building in addition to the technical parts.
