Company mission
Sage's mission is to improve the care and quality of life for caregivers and older adults.
Role
Who you are
- At least 5 years of experience as a backend developer
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related field
- Experience with object-oriented programming
- Demonstrated ability to breakdown complex problems and explain them, at the correct level of detail, to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Experience leading software development projects and software development teams
- Experience with distributed systems and stateless microservices is helpful, but most important is a strong software development foundation and a deep interest in building robust, scalable systems
Desirable
- Experience building microservices in Java
- Experience building horizontally-scalable, highly-available distributed systems
- Experience with web frameworks (ex. Dropwizard, Spring)
- Experience with relational databases (ex. PostgreSQL)
- Experience with caching technologies such as Redis
- Familiarity with Docker containerization
- Familiarity with deploying a platform architecture via AWS
What the job involves
- As a backend engineer, you will be one of the main developers building the infrastructure powering the core Sage platform. Sage powers mission-critical operational workflows and always* needs to work
- You will work directly with Sage's engineering leaders to design and implement features to make our platform more robust and enable our distributed platform to scale
- You will have a direct impact on the direction our infrastructure takes as we grow
- Implementing features for our append-only data model, and ensuring that any scale limitations in our data architecture are accounted for
- Designing a 3rd-party API and service for consumption of our platform insights
- Implementing blue-green downtime-less upgrades for a new microservice
- Implementing ETL pipelines to surface insights on sensor data collected via our Sage Voice device
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In the event of an accident or fall, elder care facilities largely rely on outdated nurse call systems, which can mean residents wait longer than necessary to receive care or attention.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 an impressive $8.9 million in funding in 2022.
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.
