August Health

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. Our goal is to make a significant difference in care quality for elders and put a dent in healthcare costs in the country. I’m a co-founder at August Health. We’re looking for engineers who: 1. Want to work on something that’s good for the world and 2. Care about engineering. Right now we’re looking to hire an engineer to focus more on our backend APIs and infrastructure. We're using scala for those that like to search for keywords, but we don’t need you to have any experience with it, just ability to learn. You should have a few years experience under your belt.

Our team of 9 has a strong technical background and also includes a physician with years of experience with geriatric patients. We are well capitalized with financing from tier-1 VCs. We’re a fully distributed team, deliberate about building our culture, offer competitive comp/benefits, and like to think we’re a fun place to work!
