Kerry Care - Founding Engineer

This position is open for candidates based in Argentina/Uruguay only.

About Kerry Care

Kerry Care is a US-based healthcare technology startup building AI-powered systems to improve senior care delivery. We're early stage, mission-driven, and moving fast to solve real problems in how care is coordinated and delivered.

We are looking to hire our Founding Engineer— the person who will own our technical architecture and set the engineering standard for the company.

You'll be working with two other developers, but you are the senior engineer. You'll make the key technical decisions, build the core systems, and establish how we build software. This is not a management role — you'll be hands-on, writing code daily, and leading through technical excellence.

This is a startup. That means ambiguity, pressure, direct access to founders, and real responsibility. You'll need to be highly driven and deeply interested in either AI systems, senior care technology, or both. It's a demanding role, but you'll work with smart people who care about the mission and you'll get direct exposure to how US startups actually operate.

What You’ll Do

• Own the technical architecture — backend, frontend, infrastructure, and AI integration

• Write code daily — build the critical systems yourself

• Make stack and design decisions that will shape the product for years

• Set the standard for code quality, testing, and engineering discipline

• Integrate LLMs and AI workflows deeply into the platform

• Work directly with founders on product direction and technical roadmap

• Create clarity and structure in an environment that doesn't have perfect specs

• Mentor and guide the other developers technically

Must-Have Skills

• Strong TypeScript — you've built production systems with it

• Deep Node.js backend experience

• Solid React frontend experience

• Production-grade real-time voice and telephony systems

• SQL and database design — you know how to model data properly

• Experience with TypeORM, Zod, or similar tools

• Ability to reason about full-stack architecture

• Experience building with or integrating LLMs and AI systems

• Strong engineering fundamentals — clean code, maintainability, system design

Bonus Skills

• Experience at early-stage startups

• DevOps and infrastructure experience

• Background in conversational AI or workflow automation

Why Join Kerry Care?

• Direct impact on senior care and patient outcomes

• Technical ownership from day one — your decisions matter

• Work closely with founders and shape company direction

• Real exposure to US startup culture and execution

• Small team, high responsibility, meaningful work

• Ambitious, driven teammates who care about what we're building

Interview Process

• Silver screening Interview.

• Silver Technical Interview.

• Client Screening Interview.

• Client Live coding Interview.

• Client Technical interview.

• Client Behavioral Interview.

This role is hard. It requires drive, ownership, and comfort with pressure. But if you want to build something real, with serious technical challenges and direct impact, this is it.
