Role
Who you are
- Strong programming fundamentals in at least one language, such as TypeScript, JavaScript, Java, or Python, with excitement to learn across the stack
- Evidence that you enjoy building things, through coursework, personal projects, open source, internships, bootcamps, or self-directed work
- Familiarity with web fundamentals, including APIs, HTTP, and databases
- Curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to learn quickly by asking thoughtful questions and acting on feedback
- Strong communication skills and enthusiasm for collaborating in an environment where ideas are shared and code is reviewed
- A genuine interest in building technology that serves people who are often overlooked by traditional software
Desirable
- Experience with React, Node.js, or a JVM language
- Exposure to SQL or other databases
- Experience using AI development tools such as Cursor, Claude, GitHub Copilot, or similar, along with the judgment to review and understand the code they generate
- A project you're excited to demo, regardless of its level of polish
- Interest in healthcare, aging, or mission-driven technology
What the job involves
- As a Software Engineering Intern at Sage, you'll join a product engineering team as a full member from day one. You'll attend the same standups, contribute to the same roadmap, review the same pull requests, and ship to the same production codebase as the rest of your team
- The software you build supports caregivers responding to real residents in real moments of need. Every feature, bug fix, and improvement has the potential to make someone's day easier, and someone's care better
- Throughout the internship, you'll work closely with an experienced engineer who will mentor you, help you grow, and give you meaningful feedback. By the end of the summer, you'll have shipped production software and shared what you built with the broader engineering organization
- Ship production code as part of a product engineering team, from your first pull request through deployment
- Build user-facing experiences in React and TypeScript used every day by caregivers and senior living communities
- Develop backend services in Java that power care workflows, notifications, and integrations with the systems our customers rely on
- Write tests, participate in code reviews, and iterate on feedback as part of our engineering process
- Partner with product managers, designers, and engineers to scope, build, and deliver meaningful features
- Learn what it takes to build and operate reliable software that people depend on every day
Application process
- This internship runs Monday, June 7, 2027 to Friday, August 13, 2027
Our take
In the event of an accident or fall, elder care facilities largely rely on outdated nurse call systems, which can mean residents wait longer than necessary to receive care or attention. Sage solves this problem by providing carers and institutions with a modern operating system.
Sage's caregiver app allows carers to identify patients in need of help, as well as providing tools for triage and the reviewing of care information. As one of the first companies to bring a data-driven approach to elder care in this way, Sage has received strong attention and raised impressive funding, most recently with the acquisition of $65M.
The age-tech market is growing steadily, and becoming more competitive, which means Sage will need to invest heavily in scaling its outreach in order to consolidate its progress. That said, it has established an early foothold which gives it a place to work from as it develops into the future.
