Company mission
To change the care industry by building the first-of-its-kind care network and expand the world’s capacity to care.
Role
Who you are
- You’ll thrive in this role if you have experience building AI systems, particularly with large language models (LLMs) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). We are looking for someone who can combine their technical expertise in data engineering and AI with full-stack engineering skills to develop scalable, real-world solutions
- Experience in AI-powered applications, especially with leveraging LLMs, complex, conditional, multi-faceted information retrieval, and embeddings for operational workflows
- Strong background in data architecture and integrating third-party APIs to enhance functionality, such as ride sharing APIs or search systems
- Proven ability to design and implement graph-based and relational data models, and proficiency in GraphQL or other query systems
- Experience leading or contributing to AI projects with a focus on real-world applications, like scalable complex decision logic, multi-agent orchestration systems or generative AI for healthcare
- Familiarity with responsible AI practices, including bias and harmfulness analysis, evaluation driven development, and ensuring ethical AI deployment
- Comfortable writing production software across the stack (backend, frontend, infrastructure) to support both the AI systems and the Directed Work platform
- Ability to collaborate closely with data scientists and product teams to create AI-powered systems that are robust, scalable, and intuitive
What the job involves
- We’re building AI systems to support real-world operations. Our team is focused on applying AI to workflows where speed, accuracy, and resilience matter—these systems are becoming core to how we operate, and we’re actively shaping how they evolve
- You’ll join the team responsible for Directed Work—our internal system that tracks what needs to be done across the company. It acts as the coordination layer for operational tasks, routing work between people and AI systems. It’s a unique opportunity to work on an AI-powered platform where task automation, human execution, and agentic reasoning all converge
- As a software engineer on this team, you’ll split your time between AI systems engineering and full-stack product development. You’ll design and implement retrieval pipelines, decision logic, and evaluation tools to support agent behavior in production—and also contribute to the Directed Work platform itself
- You’ll work with a high-performing group of engineers and data scientists, bringing together infrastructure, interface, and intelligence
- Design and implement retrieval pipelines and context delivery for AI-driven workflows
- Build orchestration logic, tool routing, and fallback mechanisms for production AI systems
- Develop and maintain evaluation pipelines to assess AI behavior, identify regressions, and track long-term performance
- Contribute as a full-stack engineer to the Directed Work platform that powers operational coordination across the company
- Help shape a hybrid human–AI system for task management, execution, and automation
- You’ll be at the intersection of AI vision and real-world application, working on innovative solutions that have a tangible impact
- You’ll be part of a high-performing team of engineers and data scientists, collaborating to build a platform that will become central to the company’s operations
- With your experience in building AI-powered task management systems, you’ll play a key role in shaping the future of intelligent automation at Honor

Our take
Longer life expectancy and an aging population has resulted in the significant growth of the home-based care industry, as nearly 90% of people over the age of 50 wish to live in their homes as long as possible.
Honor is a technology-enabled home care company that partners with local care agencies, who leverage its infrastructure to handle back-office functions such as billing, scheduling, and staffing. The company currently provides non-medical home care services to people across the United States, supporting over 100,000 care professionals.
Boasting the world's largest home care network, the company's advanced care platform is revolutionizing how society cares for older adults. Powering over 1 million hours of care each week and with a number of key leadership hires announced over 2024, Honor is well set to see continued growth.
