- You thrive in diverse, cross-functional environments, collaborating with design, product, data, and care operations.
- You have a builder’s mindset, evolving systems from design through operation.
- You enjoy sharing knowledge, mentoring others, and contributing to a healthy, inclusive engineering culture.
- You’re an excellent, proactive communicator — able to translate complex ideas (both in writing and verbally) into clear, actionable solutions for technical and non-technical partners.
We're looking for you to bring:
- Strong backend engineering experience, with a track record of building and operating production systems.
- Experience designing relational data models and working with databases at scale.

- Experience with API design, distributed systems, and backend performance considerations.
- Proficiency in Python or transferable backend experience with a willingness to learn Python.
About the role:
- Workforce Team — building the systems that support Care Professionals, including hiring, scheduling, and workforce optimization.
- DemandGen Team — powering Honor’s public digital experiences and growth channels that help thousands of families find the care they need.
- Growth Team — developing a multi-channel sales and communication stack (phone, sms, email) that connects families, Care Professionals, and care operations.
About the role:
- Your work will shape how people discover and receive the care they need.
- You’ll solve real, complex problems at the intersection of engineering, operations, and human impact.
- You’ll collaborate with thoughtful, mission-driven teammates across engineering, product, design, and operations.
