Senior Fullstack Engineer, Product

Sage is on a mission to improve care and quality of life for older adults, starting with those residing in senior living facilities. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among adults over 65. And yet, fall prevention and emergency response systems for older adults are archaic and ineffective. At Sage we've built a more modern way of understanding when older adults need help, including methods for residents to alert caregivers when in need of help, and corresponding software for caregivers to triage response.

Our company mission is to create a product that our client counterparts love, and this role is a key part of that objective.

Sage is a small, tight team of ambitious, multi-disciplinary entrepreneurs. We are a software-enabled, mission-driven company, and are focused only on the problems that are central to achieving that mission. At Sage, we work hard and fast but also know that to build a truly important company, we need to treat our work as a marathon, and not a sprint. The journey matters.

We’re looking for an experienced Full-Stack Engineer to serve as a senior IC on a new, high-impact project. While you’ll bring solid backend experience, your strength and passion will be on the frontend building scalable, performant web applications in the modern React ecosystem. You’ll take ownership of the application architecture and help define the design patterns, frameworks, and best practices that shape how we build software going forward.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on solving complex user-facing problems, has strong opinions about frontend architecture and APIs, and wants to own the end-to-end delivery of new capabilities. You’ll be hands-on, collaborative, and deeply influential in setting technical direction while ensuring that our applications are robust, secure, supportable, and optimized for scale.

We expect candidates will typically have at least 5+ years of full-stack engineering experience, with a track record of leading complex projects at scale.
