About SafelyYou

SafelyYou’s passionate mission is to empower safer, more person-centered care across senior living through world-leading AI, industry-changing hardware, and remote expert clinicians, significantly improving outcomes for residents while increasing peace of mind for families and reducing costs for communities.

Originating in 2015 as the doctoral research of CEO George Netscher—and inspired by his own family's experience with Alzheimer's disease—SafelyYou was spun out of UC Berkeley’s Artificial Intelligence Research Lab, one of the top five AI research groups in the world. And today, our company is solving critical challenges in senior living, from resident falls and ER visits to staffing concerns, length of stay, and NOI. All helping ensure that communities can focus on improved care for residents while still reaching their financial goals.

SafelyYou is one of five most innovative fall technologies referenced in the Senate Falls Report (2019), a winner of the McKnight’s Tech Partner of the Year, and has been named to Fortune’s Impact 20 list, which recognizes companies making people’s lives better through innovation.

Your Role at SafelyYou

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Fleet Team, you will help scale and evolve our infrastructure that manages tens of thousands of edge devices deployed across care communities. You’ll design and deliver resilient, scalable backend systems in Go, contribute to internal frontend tools in TypeScript, and take ownership of services critical to device health, over-the-air updates, and system observability. This role is ideal for a pragmatic engineer who balances fast delivery with long-term code quality, cares deeply about customer outcomes, and thrives in a supportive, collaborative, remote-first environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and build scalable backend systems in Go to manage device registration, OTA updates, and configuration deployments
• Implement observability and alerting to ensure uptime and performance of our edge infrastructure
• Contribute to internal frontend tools when needed
• Bring strong fundamentals in Linux and networking to production debugging and design
• Drive technical decisions and help define the system architecture
• Partner closely with Product, and Ops to align on priorities and operational readiness
• Participate in on-call rotation and uphold high standards of system reliability and SRE
• Mentor other engineers through code reviews and pairing
• Balance pragmatism and maintainability—knowing when to move fast and when to invest
