Using AI to help dementia patients age at home. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
This is not a role where you get handed a spec. You'll work directly with patients, their families, our clinicians, and our in-house care navigation team that supports people nationwide. You'll sit in on calls, watch navigators work, and ship the thing they needed last week. We expect engineers here to have opinions about the product and the care model, not just the implementation.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
- Deep full-stack expertise — you're genuinely strong on both ends and don't need a handoff to ship a feature
- Product-focused. You think in terms of the user's problem and the outcome, not the ticket. You've shipped things you conceived of yourself
- Frontend development — polished, fast, accessible interfaces used by clinicians, navigators, patients, and older adults and their families
- APIs and data backend — schema design, service architecture, integrations with messy external systems (EHRs, labs, payers)
- Auth, security, and governance — you've built systems handling sensitive data and you understand what HIPAA-grade actually means in practice
More about this role
Type: Full-time
Experience: 5+ years
We are a full-stack dementia care company. An estimated 7.4 million Americans age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's dementia today, and that number could reach 13.8 million by 2060 absent a medical breakthrough. Health care, long-term care, and hospice payments for this population are projected at $409 billion in 2026 — with Medicare and Medicaid covering roughly $263 billion of it and families paying about $103 billion out of pocket. That figure doesn't count the ~13 million unpaid caregivers who provided more than 19 billion hours of care in 2025, work valued at over $446 billion.
Those numbers describe a system that doesn't exist. Dementia care in America is a patchwork of neurologists, primary care, social workers, home aides, adult day programs, benefits paperwork, and a spouse or adult child holding it all together with a spiral notebook. People are diagnosed an average of 3.5 years after symptoms first appear, and more than half of diagnoses in primary care come only after the disease has reached moderate or advanced stages — past the window where the newest disease-modifying therapies can help at all.
