Job description

About Us

Carefeed is the platform senior living and long‑term care providers use to bring order, clarity, and calm to their day. By replacing paper, calls, and disconnected tools with an all‑in‑one platform, Carefeed digitizes and automates the work that takes teams away from residents and families.

Carefeed works alongside existing EHR and HR systems and supports the way providers already operate. It reduces strain, keeps communities organized, and gives staff the time and confidence to focus on what matters most. Providers choose Carefeed because it is simple to learn, powerful in practice, and built for the realities of multi‑community care.

Trusted by thousands of communities across the US and Canada, Carefeed helps every organization deliver a better experience for residents, families, and the teams who care for them.

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join Carefeed’s engineering team. We’re a collaborative group of full‑stack engineers responsible for Carefeed’s core systems, including our Family Portal, Administration Portal, and Payments products. Our tech stack includes PHP, Laravel, Vue, Typescript and a bit of Go. Carefeed’s products make life easier for the residents, families and staff of senior living communities across the US. As part of our team, you’ll help build tools for thousands of senior communities serving hundreds of thousands of residents. We make software that is intuitive and easy to use, but also highly customizable and configurable.

Responsibilities

• Build robust, well‑designed and effective software that solves complex problems.
• Test, review, and deploy code quickly. Carefeed is in the middle of a CI/CD transformation, and we aim to deploy our main application many times per day.
• Research, learn and share new techniques for solving complex engineering problems. We’re a highly collaborative team and we push each other to find better solutions every day.
• Write tools and develop practices for the engineering team. We take the time to invest heavily in our own productivity.
• Own projects from end-to-end. On a given day you might be building a system to improve web application performance, reworking an integration with an electronic health records provider, or designing a UI component library.
• Analyze and design solutions to business problems. At Carefeed, you’ll be fully involved in determining what to do, not just doing it.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience in software development.
• You have a strong foundation in computer science fundamentals, such as algorithmic complexity, asynchronicity, and distributed computing.
• You have a good knowledge of software design concepts and architecture, including significant experience in software testing.
• You may have a soft spot for certain types of work (frontend, backend, infrastructure and so on), but at your core you’re an all‑rounder who is excited to own features end to end.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent work experience).

What You’ll Love

• Join a fast‑growing startup making a real impact in the lives of senior care providers and their communities.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance to support your health and well‑being.
• 401(k) plan to help you plan for the future.
• Paid vacation, sick time, and company‑paid holidays to support work‑life balance.
• A culture that values growth and development, with opportunities to grow your career as we scale.
