About August Health

August is the modern platform for Senior Living operators: we empower the essential work of caring for all our elders.

Our mission is to ensure that operators centralize their resident data into our easy to use platform, allowing them to share data across their community, keep track of residents’ care needs and document progress accurately. All of this supports their bottom line and allows them to focus on providing the best care possible.

At August we strive to live our values each day, in every interaction with our customers and with each other.

• Be responsible – leave things better than you found them

• Take ownership – be decisive and take action

• Be ambitious – build something great

• Keep an open mindset – communicate candidly and welcome new ideas

• Be humble – celebrate each others’ successes and learn from our mistakes

• Stay positive – assume best intent

About the role

We're looking for an experienced frontend developer to join us, especially someone with several years of experience building and shipping complex, consumer-facing applications. We have two main products:

• Our main application: React & TypeScript

• A progressive web application that supports offline use: React, TypeScript, Service Workers, IndexedDB via Dexie.js

• We expect you to have significant experience in at least React & TypeScript; experience in the progressive web application space is a major plus.

• Technologies we use, but don't expect you to have experience in: Scala, Play Framework, Protobuf, Postgres

Our development team is a small group of capable engineers and we like to balance building thoughtfully with getting things shipped. The position offers the opportunity to deeply understand our problem space and channel compassion for the experiences of older adults into building a mission-driven, elegant, and intuitive product.

Key qualifications

• 7+ years professional experience as a software engineer familiar with building customer facing frontends

• Ability and desire to mentor other engineers

• Ability to thrive in a startup environment that’s full of ambiguity - experience balancing tradeoffs to make complex decisions where there is no ‘right’ answer

• Good communication and personal skills; ability to interact and work well with the team

• Interest in development of company culture and its reflection in our engineering practices
