GoGoGrandparent (YC S16) is hiring back end engineers

GoGoGrandparent is hiring a Senior Backend Engineer (remote) to design, build and maintain scalable Node.js/TypeScript back-end systems for a profitable startup that provides concierge services for seniors (rides, meals, meds, home management). The role requires 6+ years of experience, ownership of end-to-end delivery (planning, implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring), strong skills in Node.js, TypeScript, MySQL and REST/GraphQL, and US timezone overlap. Responsibilities include system design, refactoring for reliability and performance, troubleshooting production issues, code review and mentoring, and helping set technical standards. The two-stage interview focuses on technical and product fit. Compensation ranges $80k-$180k (location and seniority dependent) plus significant quarterly sprint-based bonuses, paid holidays, 15 days PTO to start, healthcare for US employees, 401k, annual engineering retreat and a learning budget.

The company mission is to help older adults live independently by acting as a management layer over on-demand services and phone-first interfaces; tens of thousands of users already rely on GoGo as a virtual caregiver. Founded in 2016, profitable without venture capital, the small distributed engineering team moves fast and gives engineers high visibility and ownership. Candidates will encounter real-time communications, AI voice agents, speech recognition, payments and logistics challenges, opportunities to influence architecture and processes, and work closely with product, operations and leadership.
