- 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

- 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In the event of an accident or fall, elder care facilities largely rely on outdated nurse call systems, which can mean residents wait longer than necessary to receive care or attention.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 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.
