Honor exists to expand the world’s capacity to care.

We’re combining high tech with high-touch to deliver better home care for aging adults, better jobs for Care Professionals, and entirely new offerings to support the aging journey, at scale.

Founded in 2014, and now a Series E funded “Unicorn” valued at over $1B, Honor leads the world’s largest home care network with the most advanced care platform. Our August 2021 acquisition of Home Instead has created a global company that’s revolutionizing how society cares for older adults, their families, and Care Professionals.

The Honor Care Platform combines local care and the most advanced technology to bring the highest quality care to more aging adults.

Grow at Honor as part of a united team where everyone shows up authentically, shares ideas bravely, and solves complex problems!

About the Work:

This position is on our Staffing team. We are responsible for connecting Honor’s care professionals with our clients who need care, in a way that meets the needs of both groups and leads to long-lasting, healthy relationships. Staffing is a cornerstone of Honor’s business, and has a real, direct impact on the wellbeing of our caregivers, clients and their families.

Engineers on our team work closely with our teammates in Design, Data Science, and Product, in order to drive positive outcomes in a complex system. Collaboration is one of our core values, and we thrive on taking diverse perspectives and ideas, and using them to learn and drive positive outcomes.

Our engineering approach is also collaborative; several of us come from an Extreme Programming (XP) background, and we value pair programming, test-driven development, and automation as core practices. We believe that quality and speed are not tradeoffs, but that they enable one another, and we value and emphasize learning as part of our day-to-day work.

About you:

  • You're an expert in building backend services, designing data models, and connecting all the layers in between
  • You've built and operated production-grade applications in Python
  • You excel at engineering design and review, from building new systems to providing great code reviews
  • You work closely with designers and product managers on a fast-moving team
  • You thrive in a diverse, cross-functional team, collaborating with people throughout the company

To succeed in the role, you’ll need to have:

  • You've led the design and implementation of large systems in multi-person teams
  • You have 8+ years of professional software development experience
  • You have a bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent

Preferred candidates come with:

  • You know how to design and optimize relational database models, and have used a relational database at scale
  • You love hands-on coding, and enjoy being thrown in the middle of mission critical projects
  • You're excited to learn from your peers
  • Bonus points: You've worked on large-scale React web apps, using Redux
