About The Work

This position is on our Staffing team that supports matching the right caregivers with clients as well as the system of record for our care services. We facilitate the creation and management of visits and streamline the association of key data with visits (such as the care needs of the client, billing and payment info, clock-in and clock-out times, and more).

We enable care operations by answering important questions like “which caregivers are available and qualified to work with this client?” and “what are the optimal caregiver assignments for a set of clients?”. Our team supports vertical user flows related to schedule and calendar management, as well as robust APIs to expose visit details, search visits and caregiver availability, and modify scheduled care.

Our team partners closely with data science to enable system-optimized caregiver assignments at scale.

We have an exciting runway ahead of us. As Honor’s Care Platform grows quickly, building robust and scalable systems is critical. As we make strategic technical investments to modernize our system, we are looking for a senior staff engineer to help guide and execute our short- and long-term architecture goals.
